In the last two weeks, an experiment aiming at the measurement of the lifetime of the excited states in 134Sm, proposed by Dr Saygi from Ankara University, was performed at HIL. The experiment employed the NEEDLE (NEDA+EAGLE) set-up coupled with the PLUNGER device of Cologne University. We thank all the researchers from HIL, the University of Ankara, the University of Cologne, IFJ PAN of Cracow, the University of the West of Scotland, Atomki and the University of Warsaw and the HIL cyclotron’s operators for their important contribution. The project was partially supported by the EURO-LABS (EUROpean Laboratories for Accelerator Based Sciences) grant. ...

Take part in an extraordinary event, a lecture ‘Understanding cellular oxygen sensing mechanisms: adventures of a physician in discovery science’ along with the Q&A session, dedicated to students and employees of the University of Warsaw. In 2019, the British scientist, together with William Kaelin and Gregg Semenza, was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. WHEN? 16 March 2023 r., 13:30-15:00 WHERE? Lecture Hall A+B, Biological and Chemical Research Centre, Żwirki i Wigury 101, 02-089 Warszawa BE AWARE The meeting will be held in English. We do not provide simultaneous translation. Please register for the event: register form. Abstract: The maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is a fundamental physiological challenge, inadequate oxygen (hypoxia) being a major component of most human diseases. The lecture will trace insights into human oxygen homeostasis from the founding work of William Harvey on the circulation of the blood to the...
