Cell Migration in Development, Health and Disease

Biographical note
Dr. Anke Brüning-Richardson is a senior lecturer in Biomedicine and leader of the brain tumour research group at the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. After working for several years in the veterinary field, which led to the development of a rapid chromatographic strip test for the pen-side diagnosis of rinderpest virus, she continued her research in the medical field with her main focus on targeting cell migration in highly aggressive cancers such as brain tumours to improve patient survival. This led to the discovery of specific migrastatic inhibitors and their characterisation, which have potential as complementary chemotherapeutic drugs for enhanced treatment options in cancer patients. Anke is also interested in improving diagnosis to allow early detection of recurring brain tumours leading to the identification of potential liquid biomarkers. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and cats.
Dr. Sabine Knipp recently moved as a bio-medical imaging specialist to the imaging facility within the medical faculty at Johannes Kepler University Linz in Austria. She is a cell- and developmental biologist by training and acquired experience in several model organisms, including invertebrates. Her research focus was originally on the contribution of cell migration to neuronal development, trying to decipher the involved signal transduction pathways, more recently she also turned her focus on cancer cell migration. While exploiting a number of different methods, a strong emphasis has always been on microscopic image-based evidence. As a result she gained a profound expertise in intracellular markers, signalling pathways, and cellular behaviour during cell migration, for instance on nitric oxide/carbon monoxide – cGMP signalling network.
Out of the lab, Sabine likes to spend time cultivating as many plant species as possible and is a keen photographer.
