Title: "The Sweet-Spot of Biopharmaceuticals”

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

Abstract:

Sugar chains play important roles in many biological and disease mechanisms. Glycoengineering is a key tool for elucidating the role of glycans in immunological and disease mechanisms. Optimizing the glycosylation of molecules and cells has a high potential for novel and superior biopharmaceuticals. My research is following my roots as a pioneer and entrepreneur in Biotherapeutic Glycoengineering and antibody engineering. The aim is to establish, expand and elaborate this research area at DTU in order to gain basic insights in the role of carbohydrates in immunological and disease processes and to generate novel biotherapeutic approaches and candidates in immuno-oncology and infectious diseases.

Lecture by: Postdoc Shivesh Anand

Title: "Breaking the Silence: Biofabrication of Human Eardrum”

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

It is estimated that by 2050, one in every ten people will suffer from disabling hearing loss. Perforated eardrums represent the most common injury to the human ear, often resulting in partial or complete hearing loss due to ineffective sound conduction. While microsurgical placement of autologous tissue grafts has long been considered the 'gold standard' for treating damaged eardrums, the inherent properties of these autografts can frequently impede optimal hearing restoration following recovery. Tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to address some of these challenges. In this seminar, I will delve into the innovative biofabrication, biomaterial, and bioreactor-driven regenerative therapies that I developed during my PhD on eardrum reconstruction at the MERLN Institute in Maastricht, Netherlands. Join me as we break the silence and explore these cutting-edge technologies!

Title: "Discovery and characterization of nanobodies for inhibition of Hymenoptera venom allergy"

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

Hymenoptera venom allergy is one of the main causes of anaphylaxis and is caused by the binding of venom allergens to receptor-bound IgE on the surface of effector cells. In my master project, I have selected and characterized nanobodies against one of the major wasp venom allergens. The selected nanobodies have the potential to block the binding of IgE to the allergen and thus prevent anaphylaxis upon exposure to the allergen.

Lecture by: Stephanie Descroix

Title: ”Developing organ on chip for biology and clinics”

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

The development of a new generation of in vitro models is of interest in different fields such as basic research in life science to decipher physiological and patho-physiological mechanisms or in pharma companies to drastically improve drug screening process. In the last decade, basic research showed how our understanding of the behavior of physiological and patho-physiological systems can be greatly increased thanks to a rational simplification of the human body in artificial microsystems. Among these different models, organ on chips are considered today as key technologies.

In this talk, we will demonstrate how microfluidics and microfabrication can be used to develop new relevant in vitro models in particular a gut on chip model that allows to the study for the first time he interplay between, stromal and epithelial cells.

As a critical problem in the development and deployment of effective anti-cancer treatments remains the lack of adequate in-vitro model systems, in a second part, I will focus on tumor on chip development recapitulating in vitro the complexity of the tumor-microenvironment.

Title: ”Nanobody-based inhibitors of allergen-mediated anaphylaxis”

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

Hymenoptera venom allergy is one of the most common causes of anaphylaxis. Central in the allergic reaction is the binding of venom allergens to IgE/receptor complexes on the surface of effector cells triggering immediate allergic reactions and potentially anaphylaxis. In my PhD project, I have developed and characterized nanobodies and nanobody-based formats that block the IgE/allergen interaction and thereby potentially reduce the risk of anaphylaxis during allergen exposure.

Lecture by: Pernille Ommen Andersen

Title: ”Development of a targeted drug delivery system for Staphylococcus aureus biofilm infections”

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

Conventional antibiotic treatment is inadequate for eradication of bacterial biofilm infections as only sublethal concentrations can be administered safely to patients. A potential solution to this challenge is targeted drug delivery.
In my PhD study, we tailored an aptamer-targeted liposomal drug delivery system that accumulates in S. aureus biofilm and delivers a combination of antibiotics locally inside the biofilm. In this presentation I will show the results and discuss what we learned from the study.

Title: ”Establishment and Characterization of Polymicrobial Inter-kingdom three-species biofilm models mimicking the microenvironment of In Vivo Chronic Wounds in Diabetic Foot Ulcers”

Place: Gustav Wieds Vej 10C, 8000 Aarhus C, Building 3130, Room 303.

Chronic wounds have become a global health problem. Chronic wounds are often infected with polymicrobial biofilms that hinders the normal healing of wounds. Consequently, chronic wounds remain in the inflammatory phase of healing. In vitro studies of chronic wounds often utilizes simple, monocultural models that exhibit unrealistic fast eradication of biofilms, once treated with antimicrobials. Given that these results are not observed in the clinic, there has become a need for more complex in vitro models comprised of multiple microbes. During my thesis, i aim to establish a polymicrobial, inter-kingdom biofilm model comprised of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans.
