Speaker: Luiza Mihaela Ghila, Researcher at the Department of Clinical Science, Medical Faculty, University of Bergen.

Title: Cell plasticity in bladder urothelium

Chair: Carina Strell

Place: Auditorium 4, BB-building (external link)

When: December 11, 2025, at 14.30-15.30

No registration necessary. 

Ghila's research aims at studying the molecular switches acting as regenerative or cell-plasticity breaks by actively maintaining the cell fate, thereby ensuring the strict regulation of cell identity and/or numbers.

Currently, her group is focusing on metabolic and immune players, which they recently identified to be involved in the emergence of the immediate neoplastic transformation signature in a model of bladder cancer. They intend to resolve the causal relationship and contribution to mechanisms regulating cell fate and tumour development by abolishing or augmenting their impact, with the final goal of aborting early neoplastic transformation.

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!
