Dear all
Welcome to the CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium on October 16th, 2025, at the BB building, Auditorium 4. We are honored to have Shuntaro Yamada as a keynote speaker with his talk“From Teeth to Therapies: The Promise of Dental Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration”, offering groundbreaking insights into regenerative medicine. Daniela Pavlicenco will present innovative work on tracking metastatic endometrial cancer progression using cellular barcoding technology to uncover clonal dynamics. Lucia Cestelli will share insights into lung health and disease patterns derived from extensive Norwegian population surveys. Aanchal Chopra will discuss the development of patient-derived 3D microtissues to model the tumor microenvironment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Finally, Noemie Astrid Myriam Dudzinska will explore how gut microbiota influences the gut-brain axis and contributes to neurodegenerative processes.
We anticipate that this symposium will spark insightful discussions in a dynamic and collaborative setting, offering an excellent opportunity to connect with new and inspiring researchers across diverse fields.
We hope to see you there for an enriching and inspiring experience!
