During the meeting, the following issues will be discussed:
- Legalisation of residence in Poland (visa, permanent residence permit);
- Differences between student visa and a temporary residence permit;
- Procedure of application for a residence permit;
- Taking up a job during studies;
- Legalisation of stay after obtaining university diploma;
- Polish descent and Card of the Pole holders’ rights;
- Special solutions for foreigners caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
The meetings will be held online.
- Meeting conducted in Polish: 24th November, 2021, 2:00 pm;

Abstract:
The presentation will cover several aspects of the non-coding RNA – a vast amount of RNA that does not encode for proteins, yet is produced at high cost by all our cells, often in cell-, tissue-, and physiopathological condition-specific manner, suggestive of an intricate regulatory network. Scientists in the bio-medical field tended to overlook the importance of non-coding RNA, often missing their critical chance in discovering therapeutic targets and developing therapeutic agents. This talk will present the evolution of our understanding of the role and importance of non-coding RNA from „dark matter” or even „junk” to bonafide biomarkers and therapeutic targets in various pathologies. The talk will give participants overlook of the complexity of the universe of non-coding RNAs, their classification, role, and impact, providing a new layer in our understanding of physiopathology. Using deadly brain tumor – glioblastoma as a model (the author will disclose basic details on disease’s key aspects), and several noteworthy examples generated by over 15 years of research by the author’s group, the participants will be presented various aspects of the pathobiology of several key players in non-coding RNA world: microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs. These aspects will include disease-related (causal vs. causative) changes in their prevalence, their molecular and phenotypic footprint (with only superficial scrutiny of their mechanistic roles), and finally, their usefulness as either therapeutic targets or therapeutic agents in the development of experimental pre-clinical therapeutic avenues against glioblastoma.
