";"As high-income countries, including Denmark, increasingly recruit healthcare workers from countries like India and the Philippines, important ethical questions arise: What are the ethics of high-income countries recruiting healthcare workers from low- and middle-income countries from a global perspective? Should Denmark invest in healthcare workforce development in source countries? Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the intersection of ethics, equity, and global health workforce recruitment. Our panel of experts — spanning policy, academia, and healthcare — will share insights on how recruitment strategies impact health systems worldwide. This event is open to students, faculty, and professionals eager to engage in a critical discussion on shaping ethical and equitable global health policies.

The lectures will take place at the University of Copenhagen. Professor Michelle Monje and Professor Frank Winkler are awarded The Brain Prize 2025 for pioneering the field of Cancer Neuroscience.Gliomas are extraordinarily difficult to treat and are the leading cause of brain tumour-related deaths in both children and adults. Michelle Monje and Frank Winkler have made transformative discoveries by showing that neural activity in the brain can promote cancer initiation, growth, spread and treatment resistance.Thus, the everyday activity that takes place in the brain promotes the development of cancers within it. These remarkable findings have laid the foundation for an entirely new field of research called ‘Cancer Neuroscience’ that represents a paradigm shift in the understanding of these cancers, and which offers vital new opportunities for treatment.Read more and sign up at: https://www.conferencemanager.dk/brainprizelectures2025 We look forward to welcoming you.

By focusing on advanced techniques such as phase contrast micro-computed tomography 3D imaging, mass spectrometry and peptide location fingerprinting, PhD students will gain insights into innovative methods for analyzing ECM structure and function. This symposium also exposes students to interdisciplinary approaches, from in silico predictions to in vivo testing, fostering a comprehensive understanding of ECM-related diseases and potential therapeutic strategies. Through these interactions, PhD students will be able to better appreciate the translational potential of their research and enhance their skills in both basic and applied science around the ECM and protein analysis.
