The Pankhurst Seminar Series provides an opportunity to experience talk and discussion from a wide range of disciplines and perspectives, reflecting the diverse and inter-disciplinary character of the <a href="https://www.pankhurst.manchester.ac.uk/" title="https://www.pankhurst.manchester.ac.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Christabel Pankhurst Institute</a>. The series is open to anyone with an interest in health technology and we welcome topic and speaker suggestions from the community. The series includes general seminars on the broad topic of health technology research and innovation as well as themed seminars on Digital Health Inequities (delivered by the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Greater Manchester), Prediction Modelling, Advanced Materials in Medicine (AMM), and the International Centre for Translational Digital Health (ICTDH). These seminars are usually run hybrid, and where possible, are recorded and uploaded to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz2dWnHHKR8PqJDSCOUp31A" title="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz2dWnHHKR8PqJDSCOUp31A" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">YouTube page</a>.The Advanced Materials in Medicine (AMM) Seminars focus on multidisciplinary projects and facilities at the University of Manchester, which discover new advanced materials and their uses to address unmet biological and clinical needs. Each hybrid seminar consists of short talks over 1 hour. The seminar welcomes anyone with an interest in advanced materials used in clinical settings.To recieve updates about any seminars within the Pankhurst Seminar Series, sign up to the <a href="http://eepurl.com/hn1N1b" title="http://eepurl.com/hn1N1b" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pankhurst mailing list here</a>. Speaker details:Dr Joan Chang, Research Fellow. Division of Molecular and Cellular Function (FBMH).Joan completed her undergraduate studies at Imperial College London (Biochemistry), followed by a PhD from the Institute of Cancer Research, London, investigating how LOXL2 mediates cancer metastasis under the tutelage of Dr Janine Erler. Joan then briefly worked with Dr Andrew Dudley (UNC Chapel Hill, USA) on how adipocytes influence cancer microenvironment, before moving to University of Manchester, where she worked with Prof Karl Kadler investigating how circadian rhythm controls collagen-I homeostasis. In 2022, Joan started her own lab with an MRC Career Development Award, investigating the intracellular and intercellular molecular mechanisms that controls collagen-I trafficking in health and disease.The title of Joan's talk is "Circadian regulation of collagen and implications on biomaterials" Prof Matthew Gibson, Chair of Sustainable Biomaterials. Department of Chemistry and Manchester Institute of Biotechnology.Matt holds a Chair in Sustainable Biomaterials at the University of Manchester, UK. He was previously (2009-2023) an Assistant, Associate and Full Professor at the University Warwick UK. Matt was a Royal Society Industry Fellow with Cytiva (2019-2023), holds an ERC Consolidator Grant, and is co-founder of the biotech spin-out Cryologyx Ltd. Matt has been awarded several prizes including the McBain, Dextra and MacroGroup Young Researcher’s medals as well prizes from the American Chemical Society, and an RSC Horizon Prize for ‘Team Ice’. Professor Gibson’s multidisciplinary research group focusses on developing new materials to address challenges in Biotechnology and Healthcare with a particular focus on cryobiology.
