Welcome to the CCBIO seminar series in the fall term of 2025! Open to all in auditorium 4, BBB. No registration necessary. Speaker is Maria Ulvmar, Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology; Infection and Immunity, Uppsala University, Sweden.

Speaker: Maria Ulvmar, (external link) Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology; Infection and Immunity, Uppsala University, Sweden.

Title:  Decoding Tumor-Draining Lymph Nodes: New Insights into Tumor Immunity and Biomarker Discovery
Chair: Carina Strell
Place: Auditorium 4, BB-building (external link)
When: September 25, 2025 at 14.30-15.30

No registration necessary. 

Maria Ulvmar's team is working to expand the current knowledge about the lymph node (LN) vascular specialization and plasticity and break new grounds for an understanding of tumor-host communication in the pre-metastatic and the metastatic LN. Join us as she explores how changes in tumor-draining lymph nodes shape immune responses and reveal new biomarkers. Discover how this emerging research could transform cancer diagnostics and therapy.

The CCBIO Seminar series

CCBIO has a monthly research seminar where invited guests and international or national speakers focus on current research topics and updates.

The CCBIO Seminar series fulfills several aims.

  • Firstly, it conveys relevant biomarker research to the local scientific community and students and younger researchers in particular, providing the ground for future recruitment.
  • Secondly, it is part of two formal courses, BMED380 on the master level, and together with the CCBIO Annual Symposium, forms CCBIO902, a PhD-level course.
  • Last, but not least, the CCBIO seminars are an important arena for informal interaction between international researchers, CCBIO PIs, and other CCBIO staff as well as interested researchers and students in general. 

All interested researchers, students, and others are welcome!
