Online IBEC Seminar: Giuseppe Battaglia

Bionics at the molecular level: copying Nature to control Nature Giuseppe Battaglia , IBEC A very established approach in medicine involves the replacement of organs or other malfunctioning body parts by synthetic versions, engineered to mimic (or even augment it, if you allow the sci-fi digression) the original function. Bionics is a very established medical ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Benedetta Bolognesi

Deep mutagenesis to understand Protein Phase Transitions Benedetta Bolognesi , IBEC Specific insoluble protein aggregates are the hallmarks of many neurodegenerative diseases. Whether the protein aggregates themselves or other forms of the proteins are toxic to cells is still unclear in many of these diseases. This lack of understanding of the causes of cellular toxicity is ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Pere Roca-Cusachs

IBEC

Sensing the matrix: transducing mechanical signals from integrins to the nucleus Pere Roca-Cusachs , IBEC Cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as key processes in development, tumorigenesis, and wound healing, are strongly determined by the properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), including its mechanical rigidity and the density and distribution of its ligands. In this talk, ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Santiago Marco

Signal and Data Processing Workflows for Untargeted Chemical Analysis: Sensor Array and Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Complex Gas Samples Santiago Marco , IBEC In diverse sectors such as health, food, environment, complex natural gas samples are analysed. Those samples can contain hundreds or thousands of compounds. In many cases, the question to be answered does not ... Read more

PhD Thesis defense: Helena Lozano

Electrical and topographical study of bacterial appendages at the nanoscale Helena Lozano, Nanoscale bioelectrical characterization group Some bacteria can exchange electrons with non-soluble electron acceptors, such as minerals. This phenomenon is called Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) and it can be done through several mechanisms, especially through conductive bacterial nanowires. The main objective of this thesis ...
