Lecture 1:

Lecture title: TheSecretin-G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily in fish

Lecture time: 08:30-10:30am, December 20, 2017

Lecture venue: College of Fisheries and Life Sciences

About the lecturer:

João Cardoso, Ph.D. and Researcher at CCMAR Marine Research Center,Algarve University, Portugal, received his Ph.D. in Biosciences at theUniversity of Cambridge, UK, in 2003 and then engaged himself in postdoctoralresearch at the center. In 2008, he was appointed to act as a fellow in the ComparativeEndocrinology and General Biology Team where Prof. Adelino VM Canário andDeborah M. Power from CCMAR Marine Research Center were members. Cardoso isprimarily engaged in evolutionary studies of the neuropeptide endocrine system(ligands and receptors) and explores the evolution and function of GPCRs invertebrates and invertebrates. In 2014 he was a contributing editor of the specialissue of Peptidehormone-binding GPCR evolution of the journal of General and ComparativeEndocrinology. He has published more than 20 SCI papers in BMCEvolution Biology, Journal of Molecular Endocrinology and Molecular andCellular Endocrinology and other journals.

Lecture 2:

Title of lecture: Regulation at theperiphery; The molecular basis of skin-specific modifications

Lecture time: 10:30-12:30am, December 20, 2017

Lecture venue: College of Fisheries and Life Sciences

About the lecturer:

Dr. Deborah M.Power is a professor at the CCMAR Marine Research Center of AlgarveUniversity in Portugal. Power is the chief editor ofGeneral and Comparative Endocrinology, associate editor of the Journal ofPre-Clinical and Clinical Research, Frontier in Endocrinology and ourAquaculture and Fisheries journal. He has won many honors, such as honoraryvisiting professor at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Prof. Power hasbeen engaged in the research of comparative molecular endocrinology in fishesand integrated biology for nearly 26 years. His research focuses on the balancemechanism of development and growth and fish metamorphosis, as well as hisrecent studies on the innate immune barrier to animals - skin development andhomeostasis. His research is mainly funded by the EU Framework Program (Fp4-7),Horizon 2020 Program by Portuguese Foundation for Science andTechnology (FCT) and the British Endocrine Society.
