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.

UW employees can register for free of charge lung ultrasound examinations and consultations with a dermatologist by 5th November.
The University of Warsaw and PZU Health (in Polish: PZU Zdrowie) organised free of charge lung ultrasound examinations for UW employees to verify COVID-19 changes. Also, they organised consultations with a dermatologist.
The examinations will take place on 10th and 12th November 2021 at the medical centre in Warsaw (145 Puławska Street). Please note that these are the only dates available. Due to the limited number of places, the order of making an appointment determines registration.
UW employees who are willing to register, please make a call 22 55 31 641 by 5th November.
The project is funded by the PZU Prevention Fund.

What is Open Science? What happens with a scientific publication between the time of writing and the formatted paper published in an academic journal? What are the Creative Commons licenses? These aspects of Open Science will be explored during a series of online workshops organised by the universities of the 4EU+ Alliance, including the University of Warsaw. Registration is open now. The first training meeting will take place on 8th November.
The series of workshops consists of 14 classes that will be held online. They will be devoted to the various aspects of Open Science, e.g.:
- What is Open Science?;
- Cycle of scientific publication: an overview;
- Strategies for publishing in Open Access journals;
- Data Management Plans – one tool with many applications;
- Research Impact & Bibliometrics: open science, society, innovation.
The workshops will be conducted in English by experts from all six member universities of the 4EU+ Alliance: University of Warsaw, Charles University (Czech Republic), University of Heidelberg (Germany), Sorbonne University (France), University of Copenhagen (Denmark) and University of Milan (Italy). UW will be represented by: Dr. Zuzanna Wiorogórska and Szymon Andrzejewski.
The classes are addressed to doctoral candidates, senior researchers, research support or anyone interested. Registration forms for each workshop and contact details are available on the 4EU+ website >>
The first class will be held on 8th November.

Supramolecular Chemistry Laboratory is looking for 2 postdoctoral researchers for a research project at the border of organic, medicinal, and supramolecular chemistry.
The project aims to develop small organic molecules capable of selectively transporting biologically relevant anions through lipid bilayers. Such molecules may exhibit interesting anti-cancer, antibacterial and antiviral properties, and may also find applications in the treatment of numerous diseases resulting from the dysfunction of natural transporters. Within the project, we would also like to construct stimuli-responsive transporters whose activity could be controlled by pH, light, or redox potential.
