National Institute of Biology kindly invites you to attend the lecture:
«Chemical Ecology applied to pest management:
a Brazilian experience»
by Dr. Raúl Alberto Laumann from the
Brasilian Agriculture Research Corporation, EMBRAPA
The lecture will take place on Thursday, the 9th of May 2013,
at 15:30 p.m. in the Lecture Hall B2
of the Biological Centre, Večna pot 111, Ljubljana.
Abstract:
In this talk the chemical ecology studies developed at Brazilian Agriculture Research Corporation, EMBRAPA will be presented. The team of the Laboratory of Semiochemicals of Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (Brasília, central Brazil) is developing chemical ecology researches including pheromone identification, plant-insect interactions, electrophysiology, developing of new formulations, and others. The potential, recent advances, and researches oriented to incorporate chemical ecology tolls in pest management in general and in use in combination with biological control, in particular will be discussed in the context of Brazilian agriculture development.
Kindly invited

"The Aptamer Technology: Powerful Tools in Basic Science,
Diagnostics and Therapy"
by Prof. Dr. Henning Ulrich,
Department of Biochemistry, Institute of Chemistry,
University of São Paulo, U, Brazil.
The lecture will take place on Monday, the 29th April 2013,
at 15:00 p.m. in the Lecture Hall B2
of the Biological Centre, Večna pot 111, Ljubljana.
Abstract:
DNA and RNA aptamers interact with their target proteins with high selectivity, specificity and affinity. The SELEX method consists of iterative cycles of in vitro screening of a combinatorial oligonucleotide library containing to 1016 different molecules and possible secondary and tertiary structures for target binding followed by PCR amplification of selected sequences. Aptamer ligands can be developed against almost any target protein. Due to the wide spectrum of applications, these novel molecules are used in numerous pharmacological, clinical and industrial processes. In the beginning, RNA and DNA aptamers were identified which bind to proteins that naturally interact with nucleic acids or small molecules such as ATP. In the following years, the use of the SELEX technique was extended in order to isolate oligonucleotide ligands for a wide range of proteins of importance for therapy and diagnostics, such as growth factors (3), cell surface antigens, entire cells and even whole organisms. Recently, the use of in vitro selection methods have been extended to living organisms such as bacteria, trypanosomes and Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. Moreover, since it became apparent that aptamers are capable to distinguish between little differences in cell surface-marker-proteins expressed by i.e. cancer cells, parasite-infected cells or stem cells in comparison to normal somatic cell, they have been developed into promising agents for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In this talk, I will focus on new accomplishments of the aptamer technology, and demonstrate some examples from my own research.
Kindly invited!

This year’s the Part A of School ISS-2013 will focus on cancer research and treatment, with an emphasis on stem cells and methodologies used in experimental and translational cancer research. Priority will be given to the translation of basic research to the clinics, as close bi-directional link of the two are of crucial importance for successful treatment of the disease. This is of particular importance in modern cell therapies. For this reason, this year the School is associated with the two preceding meetings as related events.
