“The role of BMI1 in adult intestinal and pancreatic exocrine stem cells” is the name of the opening lecture of the 2008-2009 Biology Lectures promoted by the Institute of General Pathology at Università Cattolica in Rome, headed by Professor Tommaso Galeotti. The seminar will take place on Wednesday, March 18 at 3:00pm, in the Aula Moscati at the University in Rome (Biology Institute, Largo F. Vito 1), and will be led by Eugenio Sangiorgi, a researcher at the Institute of Medical Genetics for the university, and by the post-doctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Mario Capecchi, 2007 Nobel prize for Medicine winner, from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
The young geneticist from Cattolica University, a student of Professor Giovanni Neri, will present the results of his work, which demonstrate the presence of multipotent stem cells in the intestine and pancreas in adult animals, the premise for a better understanding of neoplastic transformation processes, and for interesting innovative treatments that could be potentially important for intestinal tumors and for diabetes mellitus.
