Info
Created in 2020 within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Geneva, the Geneva Centre for Inflammation Research (GCIR) aims to promote scientific collaboration, translational research projects and interaction between academia and industry. The Centre's research focuses on diseases that have a major impact on the health of patients and society, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and respiratory infections. To facilitate the sharing and exchange of knowledge, the Centre organises an annual scientific symposium and quarterly seminars on specific topics.

🌙⏳ Why do rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients experience enhanced joint inflammation and pain in the early morning? The immune system follows a 24-hour rhythm, affecting disease symptoms, immune cell function, and even treatment outcomes. 🦠⏰ This seminar will uncover the circadian regulation of inflammatory diseases and how Tregs contribute to daily variation in joint inflammation. "Circadian variation in chronic inflammatory disease, a role for regulatory T cells" by Prof. Julie Gibbs, The University of Manchester, UK 📅 Friday, 28 March | 🕛 12:15 | 📍 Room J-L.

📢 Exciting Workshop on Tissue #Lymphocytes – Happening in Basel! We are thrilled to announce the upcoming EMBO Workshop on Tissue Lymphocytes, taking place in Basel, Switzerland 26-29 August 2025. Just a short trip from Geneva! 🦠 Why Attend? Immune responses are central to human health, shaping everything from infection defence to #cancer, #autoimmunity, metabolism, and ageing. While B and T lymphocytes initiate responses in lymphoid organs, their role in barrier tissues such as the lung, gut, and urogenital mucosa remains a rapidly evolving field. This workshop will bring together leading experts, emerging leaders, and early-career researchers to discuss groundbreaking insights into tissue lymphocytes—their development, maintenance, and therapeutic potential. Expect cutting-edge science, collaborative debate, and new models to advance our understanding of these crucial immune players. Abstract Submission Deadline 30 May 2025 26 – 29 August 2025 | Basel, Switzerland https://lnkd.in/dC5sBu8S #EMBObarrierTissues #EMBOTissueImmunity #Immunology #EMBOMeeting #EMBOWorkshop Faculté de médecine - UNIGE, University of Geneva, University of Bern, University of Basel.

Can 'Toxoplasma gondii' survive without its apicoplast? Recent research by Prof. Dominique Soldat-Favre's team shows that it can. Studying parasites devoid of the apicoplast provides key insights into parasite metabolism and paves the way for novel drug targets for parasitic infections. Check out these findings in #NatureCommunications: 🔗 Full article: https://lnkd.in/dQctiK87 🔗 Summary: https://lnkd.in/dDCkiRFk Last author: Joachim Kloehn; First author: Min Chen; Team leader: Prof. Dominique Soldat-Favre, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Medicine, Faculté de médecine - UNIGE, University of Geneva #toxoplasma #parasitology #microbiology #apicoplast #apicomplexa #malaria #toxoplasmosis

📢 PhD Thesis Defence Announcement 📢 We are pleased to invite you to the thesis defence of Valeria Oliva, PhD candidate in Life Sciences (Biomedical Sciences) at the Faculté de médecine - UNIGE & Faculty of Science | University of Geneva. 🔬 Thesis title: "Control of dendritic cell dynamics in the skin by the sympathetic nervous system" 📅 Date & Time: Friday, March 21, 2025, at 15:00 📍 Location: Auditoire Reverdin (CMU), 2nd floor, Building B, Rue Michel-Servet 1, 1206 Geneva 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d2Jyqt6m The sympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and immune cell trafficking across several peripheral tissues. As a barrier tissue, the skin represents a primary defence against pathogens, housing both a dense network of nerves and a diverse population of immune cells. This study investigates how the sympathetic nervous system governs dendritic cell migration within the skin and explores the relevance of these mechanisms in the context of tumour development. 💡 Don't you want to learn more? 🚀 Hope to see you there! 👨🏫 Supervisor: Prof. Christoph Scheiermann, Department of Pathology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine - UNIGE #PhDDefence #Neuroimmunology #DendriticCells #TumorImmunology #LifeSciences #BiomedicalResearch #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM
