It is clear that the biotech industry will grow rapidly in Iceland in the coming years. It is therefore important that those start-ups that emerge here do not wither due to circumstances or be forced to operate abroad but have the conditions to mature domestically and pursue product development based on progressive research of the highest quality.

This seminar will describe genomic and molecular biology approaches that have led to the identification of functional variants at pancreatic cancer risk loci that influence gene expression regulation, and an example of a risk locus that affects the coding region of a gene and protein structure and function.

Early in development, our vasculature regulates the transport of biomolecules and fluid exchange throughout our tissues. The endothelium is dynamic and complex, changing in response to temporally and spatially regulated bio-chemical and mechanical cues within their local environments.

A broad range of diseases are identified based on histology. Today, most pathological tissue samples are stored as formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, which is the gold standard for histopathological analysis.
