Calling all vascular biologists! Join us for cutting edge science at #Angioscience26 in gorgeous Seeon, Bavaria. Awesome speakers, intimate setting, many talks from abstracts. Deadline June 15th to register! vwfb.de/start/regist...
Makinen lab - Lymphatic Biology and Pathology
@taijamakinenlab.bsky.social
Laboratory at the Wihuri Research Institute @wrihelsinki.bsky.social and University of Helsinki. We investigate mechanisms that regulate the lymphatic vasculature and its role in organ-specific physiology and disease processes.
Registration open for Seeon Angioscience Conference - hope to see many of you there!
Ondine Cleaver@ondinecleaver.bsky.social · 6mo ago🚨 SAVE-THE-DATE 🚨 SEEON ANGIOSCIENCE! Fantastic, long-running meeting on Development & Maintenance of the Vasculature. 🗓️ Sept 2026 🌍 Bavaria, Germany Registration open! Join us! vwfb.de/start/regist...
The Center is a wonderful collaboration with scientists extraordinaire @taijamakinenlab.bsky.social Kari Vaahtomeri and Cecilia Sahlgren. We are all recruiting, so keep an eye on our website If you are looking for a postdoc position 😀
Guillaume Jacquemet@guijacquemet.bsky.social · 8mo agoI am delighted to introduce our new Centre of Excellence in Immune-Endothelial Interfaces (IMMENs) funded by the Research Council of Finland. www.helsinki.fi/en/researchg... I will be recruiting two postdocs early next year. One image analyst and one biologist interested in working on lymphatics!
Thrilled to kick off our Centre of Excellence on Immune–Endothelial Interfaces (IMMENs), funded by the Research Council of Finland, with the first meeting in Helsinki! Great to start this journey with Kari Vaahtomeri, Cecilia Sahlgren and Guillaume Jacquemet @guijacquemet.bsky.social.
