STREAMLINE “Industry Open Day No. 2”

Sa velikim zadovoljstvom Vas pozivamo da 24. aprila 2025. godine prisustvujete “Industry Open Day No. 2”, koji organizujemo u Evropskoj kući, Zmaj Jovina 8, Beograd. Manifestacija se organizuje u okviru Horizon Europe Twinning projekta STREAMLINE (https://streamlineproject.rs/), čiji je osnovni cilj da Institut za molekularnu genetiku i genetičko inženjerstvo Univerziteta u Beogradu postane regionalni centar za proučavanje i modelovanje neurorazvojnih poremećaja zasnovano na primeni indukovanih pluripotentnih matičnih ćelija (iPSCs) i -omics analiza.

Na manifestaciji “Industry Open Day No. 2” želimo da doprinesemo daljem povezivanju i partnerstvu kompanija, startupova i istraživača, kao i da prodiskutujemo globalne trendove i trenutna dostignuća u biomedicini zasnovanoj na primeni matičnih ćelija.

Pored matičnih ćelija, razgovaraćemo i o celokupnom razvoju biomedicine u Srbiji i regionu Zapadnog Balkana, potencijalima za dalji razvoj i, što je najvažnije, saradnji sa industrijom – uključujući CRO kompanije, investitore i mnoge druge ključne aktere ekosistema.

STREAMLINE TRAINING IN JANUARY

The training dedicated to improving the research management capabilities and administrative skills of IMGGE staff was held online on January 13, 2025. This year, the training program was elevated to a higher level by integrating the topics covered in the previous six trainings into one comprehensive program. IMGGE staff who had submitted project proposals that did not receive funding in the recent period or, who are currently preparing or planning to prepare EU or other international proposals, were offered personalized advice. Dr. Marija Schwirtlich and Dr. Danijela Drakulic presented their project proposals, which had been evaluated over the past two years. Following their presentations, a discussion occurred with Prof. David Linden, Prof. Adrian Harwood, Dr. Spyros Petrakis, and Marco Berndes (Funding and Policy Advisor). They provided Marija and Danijela with feedback and main suggestions to improve the quality of their proposed studies.

An International Spring School: “Emerging technologies and new horizons for research and therapy of human Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs)”

It is our great pleasure to announce our third Spring school: “Emerging technologies and new horizons for research and therapy of human Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs)” as part of the project STREAMLINE funded by the European Union. The School will be held at the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, University of Belgrade (IMGGE), Belgrade, Serbia from April 9th to April 11th 2025 and will be co-organized by IMGGE and Cardiff University, UK.

Why STREAMLINE International School: The School will offer a comprehensive guide to current state-of-the-art research of NDDs based on the application of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), brain organoids and OMICS analysis. By face-to-face lectures, discussion sessions and practical demonstrations, the International School will guide you from the understanding of the clinical perspective of NDDs, human cell functional genomics, modelling NDDs using iPSCs and brain organoids, emerging imaging technologies to study cell architecture, dynamics and function to the translation from cell mechanism to patient biology. It will provide knowledge and understanding of current approaches and technologies to support future research and international collaboration.

Who should attend this International Streamline School: PhD students from the Western Balkan region with interest in research and therapy of NDDs.

Costs: travel (train/bus tickets), accommodation and subsistence costs will be covered by the project STREAMLINE.

Language: English

IBROSpeakerSupport grant for the 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Symposium

It is our great pleasure to share that dr Danijela Stanisavljević Ninković, a member of STREAMLINE team, has been awarded an #IBROSpeakerSupport grant for the 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Symposium!

The International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) is the global association of neuroscience societies established in 1961 that aims to promote and support neuroscience around the world through training, education, research, outreach and engagement activities, and the publication of two journals, Neuroscience and IBRO Neuroscience Reports.

The 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Symposium offers a unique opportunity for parents and children affected by the condition to connect, share experiences, and gain valuable insights. Participants will benefit from the knowledge of leading specialists in Serbia and across Europe, who will present the latest advancements in research, diagnostics, and management of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, including its associated risks for neurodevelopmental disorders.
We have carefully selected speakers with extensive expertise, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging program. This event also serves to strengthen the connections established during the STREAMLINE project, and we are deeply grateful to IBRO for supporting this initiative.
Details about registration will be announced soon. Stay tuned for updates about the Symposium, which will take place on November 22, 2025.

STREAMLINE Symposium „22q Awareness Day“

On Friday, November 22th, the third Symposium entitled “22q Awareness Day ” was organized within the STREAMLINE project. We gathered around researchers, doctors, parents and children living with 22q11 deletion syndrome. This was another wonderful meeting with the hope that it will grow into a tradition.
The Symposium started with Dr. Danijela Drakulić who presented STREAMLINE projects activities. Her opening speech was followed by from representatives of National organization for rare diseases of Serbia (NORBS) and “22q ex YU”, Stefan Živković and Vesna Vujičić, who talked about the current activities of their associations. At the end of opening speech Ana Knežević (President of inclusive center “Here’s a hand” (Evo ruka)) said that her message is that we should help to parents and children living with 22q11 deletion syndrome.
STREAMLINE team members spent this wonderful evening with parents and children living with 22q11 deletion syndrome, enjoying in good talk and music. This was a great opportunity to better understand the life of people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and their daily struggles, but also to become familiar with their way of thinking and their many talents. Perhaps the most important thing is that this Symposium enabled parents who share the same problems to exchange experiences, to broaden perspectives, and create new contacts.

STREAMLINE for Students

Choosing a professional path is one of the most frequent problems students have in career counseling. Therefore, on November 8th, as part of the “Find out first-hand” program, the Center for Career Development and Student Counseling of the University of Belgrade and the Institute for Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering (IMGGI) of the University of Belgrade, organized a visit for final year students from the different faculties of natural sciences, University of Belgrade. Students had the opportunity to become more familiar with IMGGI, projects, and career planning possibilities. Dr Mina Perić described students how it is to work with human induced pluripotent cells technology, an exciting new era for the fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, as well as disease modeling and drug discovery.
