    Profesionalne konekcije nisu bile u prvom planu na kongresu Evropske asocijacije za istraživanje raka #EACR2024 za dr Dejana Kosanovic, PhD, već je to bio jedan emotivni, porodični trenutak. 👩🔬👩🔬 Dejana, koja je viša naučna saradnica na #IMI, se posle 20 godina susrela sa svojom rođakom dr Martina Radić sa Univerziteta u Bernu jer je „slučajnost” umešala prste. Njihove bake su sestre, a one su, ne znajući, pravile gotovo identične karijerne izbore i obe se posvetile istraživanju raka.

Their grandmothers were sisters, and, without knowing it, they followed nearly identical career paths, both dedicating their lives to cancer research. Read more 👇 https://shorturl.at/wWFea

  • Huge thanks to Dr. Sanja Momčilović from the Department of Neuroendocrinology at #IMR for delivering an impressive lecture featuring the data of her doctoral research on "Mechanisms of interactions between mesenchymal stem cells and macrophages in the regulation of stress erythropoiesis." 💬“For the first time, it has been shown that NO and the purinergic signaling system play crucial roles in the communication between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells under conditions of elevated glucocorticoid and erythropoietin concentrations. Understanding the functions of these signaling molecules in these interactions is crucial not only for elucidating the mechanisms that govern the accelerated proliferation and differentiation of immature erythroid cells during stress erythropoiesis but also for the potential development of new and more effective anemia treatments. This is particularly important given the risks of adverse effects from erythropoietin therapy, especially in oncology patients, and the increasing problem of resistance to existing erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.” The talk was part of our Seminar Series at the Institute for Medical Research, which is open to the community of experts in biomedicine and biotechnology as part of our ongoing efforts to collectively advance high-quality scientific research. ---- Hvala dr Sanja Momčilović iz Grupe za neuroendokrinologiju sa #IMI na sjajnom predavanju „Mehanizmi interakcije mezenhimalnih matičnih ćelija i makrofaga u regulaciji stres eritrocitopoeze” i prezentaciji ključnih rezultata svoje doktorske disertacije. 💬„Prvi put je pokazana uloga NO i purinergičknog signalnog sistema u komunikaciji makrofaga sa mezenhimalnim matičnim ćelijama u uslovima povišenih koncentracija glukokortikoida i eritropoetina. Razumevanje uloge ovih signalnih molekula u navedenim interakcijama značajno je, ne samo za rasvetljavanje mehanizama koji regulišu ubrzanu proliferaciju i diferencijaciju nezrelih ćelija eritroidne loze tokom procesa stres eritrocitopoeze, već može doprineti razvoju novih i potencijalno efikasnijih modaliteta lečenja anemije, imajući u vidu rizik od neželjenih dejstava terapije eritropoetinom, naročito kod onkoloških pacijenata, kao i sve učestaliji problem rezistencije na postojeće agense za stimulisanje eritrocitopoeze.” Ovo predavanje je deo serije naučnih seminara na Institutu za medicinska istraživanja koja okupljaju akademsku i naučnu zajednicu iz oblasti biomedicine i biotehnologije sa ciljem da kroz razmenu ideja i intenzivnu saradnju razvijamo izuzetnost u nauci.

  • Researchers from #IMR, Dr. Vesna Ilic, Dr. Drenka Trivanovic, and Dr. Ivana Drvenica together with a team of researchers from @The Institute of Physics and medical professionals from the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases at the University Clinical Centre of Serbia have found a new biophysical parameter that could play a key role in clinical diagnosis of diabetes. Valuable insights into the altered mechanical behavior of erythrocytes in individuals with DM could lead to faster, more accurate diagnostic procedures, even for prediabetes. The discovery is a main outcome of the #HEMMAGINERO project, supported by the Fond za nauku Republike Srbije - Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia Serbia under the PROMIS program, and highlights a years-long collaboration among researchers.

  • Nothing is more important than making a real-life impact with #science and #education. #IMR researchers Dr. Vesna Vučić and Dr. Danijela Ristić-Medić delivered high-value lectures as part of a three-day educational workshop for parents and caregivers of children with developmental disabilities, held at the Rectorate of the University of Belgrade in June. Alongside researchers from Croatia and Macedonia, they covered a full spectrum of topics on improving social inclusion, health, nutrition, stress management, and overall quality of life for these families to help them thrive, not just survive. This workshop was part of the #ErasmusPlus #SynergyEd project, which aims to deliver tailored support for parents using new educational materials and an online platform for continuous e-learning. #Erasmus #ErasmusProjects #erasmusprojects #disability #disabilityeducation
