The Steno Thursdays events aim to disseminate exciting diabetes research from clinical- and biomedicine to epidemiology. Most presentations are given by researchers affiliated to or collaborating with SDCA. We host Steno Thursdays Global once a month, featuring international diabetes experts.
There will be room for questions and discussions following every talk.
How often
Thursdays, 14:00-15:00 in Verdensrummet, Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus.

Qualifying Fluid Treatment in Thoracic Surgery
Summary: Vasoactive medications and fluid therapy are cornerstones in perioperative haemodynamic management. Yet, the optimal perioperative blood pressure and fluid volumes remain undefined and both under- and overhydration are associated with adverse postoperative outcome.
In his PhD project, Henrik investigated how haemodynamic management can be tailored to the individual patient and how the application of individualized haemodynamic protocols might affect patient outcomes following oesophagectomy. Please join us as Henrik will be rehearsing his upcoming defence.
Henrik Lynge Hovgaard, PhD-fellow at Dept. Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital

Glucocorticoids affect circadian rhythm genes in humans
Summary: Glucocorticoids are frequently used to treat many different diseases and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. Further, animal studies suggest that glucocorticoids are closely involved in regulating the internal circadian rhythm.
In his PhD project, Simon investigated the effect of the commonly used glucocorticoid, prednisolone, on rhythmic expression of central circadian clock genes and physiological circadian patterns in humans. Please join us as Simon will be rehearsing his upcoming defence.

Biomed lab. meetings are primarily based on laboratory methods and methodology development and its application in translational or clinical studies. The techniques are diverse and covers a spectrum from tissue signaling to subcellular analysis (e.g. Western Blot, immunostaining, single cell transcriptomics, Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting).
How often
Every second week
How to join
Everybody are welcome to join these meetings to discuss and expand the field and it doesn’t matter if you are new or experienced in laboratory research and related techniques. Topic and location is send to the Biomed lab. mail list. Please contact us to get on the list.
