From July 8th to 11th, the historic city of Burgos, Spain, renowned as the European city of human evolution, is hosting one of the most prestigious food microbiology conferences in the world. The event gathers top-tier scientists and researchers to discuss technological evolution and revolution in food microbiology.
From June 17th to 21st, 2024, the University of Milan's Lodi Campus hosted a comprehensive training course titled “Bioengineering Tissues in the Laboratory: Principles, Technology, and Application.” Three researchers from our team at the Estonian University of Life Sciences-Dulmini Nanayakkara Sapugahawatte, Seyed Omid Reza Mousavi, and Deep Bhattacharya--participated in the event. Led by Prof. Stefan Alexander Przyborski from Durham University, this course aimed to deepen participants' understanding of modern cell and tissue research. It provided exploration of cutting-edge cell culture technologies and their applications in creating tissue equivalents in vitro.
Extracellular Vesicles in One Health, Food, and Feed: Key Insights from the 8th Annual Conference25/5/2024
From May 24-25, 2024, the Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu, Estonia, hosted the 8th Annual Extracellular Vesicles Conference, themed “Unlocking the Potential of Extracellular Vesicles in One Health, Food, and Feed.” After the hands-on training school on extracellular vesicles, this important event provided a smooth continuation for further lectures and poster presentations.
From April 24th to May 15th, 2024, PhD student Madhusha Prasadani Yasalath Gamage from the Estonian University of Life Sciences undertook a study visit at the University of Milan. The focus of the visit was to explore the effects of cow milk extracellular vesicles (EVs) on various cell types in a 2D system. The goal was to study functional properties such as cell growth, viability, and proliferation. Based on these initial studies, Madhusha worked toward developing 3D cell culture models that could serve as substitutes for animal models, focusing on porcine and rainbow trout intestine models.
The picturesque city of Tartu, Estonia, was the backdrop for the seventh annual hands-on training school titled "Basics to Work with Extracellular Vesicles," hosted from May 21-23, 2024. This event was organized by the COMBIVET ERA Chair of Comparative Medicine at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, in collaboration with OH-Boost, University of Tartu, Baltic Society of Extracellular Vesicles, University of Helsinki, and the University of Milan.
On April 25th, 2024, the University of Helsinki welcomed a group of researchers for a workshop titled “Viral and Bacterial Metagenomics with Lazypipe.”
On March 11 to 29, 2024 our PhD students went on a journey in the Advanced Lipid Analysis. This was a part of the "Advanced Principals in Lipidomics" Training Cycle. The event was hybrid and combined online sessions with hands-on experiments at the University of Helsinki.
On the 31st of January part of our team co-organized and took part in Networking Seminar "One Health Unveiled: Bridging the Gaps for Global Well-being“ in Brussels.
The Combivet and OH-Boost research group recently visited Mo Saaremaa, a local milk product manufacturing facility. The visitors wanted to find ways to use the waste products created during milk production and had a unique idea to extract milk-derived extracellular vesicles from these byproducts.
The Estonian University of Life Sciences, in collaboration with the COMBIVET ERA Chair project, held an engaging ethics debate on November 15th at 14:00.
