SUMMARY:PhD Discussion: Ángela Martínez-Mateos  and Alice Perucca
DESCRIPTION:DnaA as a key regulator of ribonucleotide reductase genes in P. aeruginosa.\nÁngela Martínez-Mateos\, Bacterial Infections and Antimicrobial Therapies Group \nPseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly adaptable opportunistic pathogen that exhibits both acquired and innate antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Due to its survival capabilities in various environments\, discovering new therapeutic strategies is essential. Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs)\, essential enzymes for dNTP synthesis\, have become promising targets for fighting P. aeruginosa infections. There are three main RNR classes (I\, II\, III)\, each distinguished by how their radical is generated\, the metal required\, cofactor type\, structure\, and oxygen needs. P. aeruginosa encodes all three RNR classes in its genome and understanding them is crucial for comprehending its metabolic adaptability under different growth conditions\, such as planktonic\, during infection\, or biofilm formation. \nOur laboratory previously discovered that class Ia (nrdAB) is regulated by AlgR\, a positive transcriptional regulator that controls mucoidy in P. aeruginosa\, and by NrdR\, the master negative regulator of RNR that regulates all three classes. However\, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the regulatory network of the class Ia RNR\, and we don’t fully understand which transcriptional regulators are involved in the fine-tuning of gene regulation for the different RNR classes. \nThis project aims to identify new transcriptional regulators through genomic\, transcriptomic\, and proteomic approaches. It has been suggested that DnaA\, among other transcriptional regulators\, could be involved in the regulation of these pathways. Comprehensive studies of these regulators are necessary to elucidate the complex regulatory networks and hierarchical organization of these factors. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing effective strategies to combat P. aeruginosa infections \n  \nEngineering the tumour ecosystem on a chip: a new tool to test cancer immunotherapies\nAlice Perucca\, Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group \nImmunotherapy has emerged as a revolutionary approach in cancer treatment\, offering the potential for durable responses and improved patient survival. However\, a significant proportion of patients fail to respond to these therapies\, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the factors that govern treatment success. The tumour microenvironment\, a complex ecosystem comprising various cell types and extracellular components\, plays a critical role in shaping anti-tumour immune responses and influencing immunotherapy efficacy. Understanding the intricate interplay between tumour cells\, stromal components\, and immune cells within this microenvironment is essential for identifying the mechanisms underlying treatment resistance and developing strategies to overcome it. This project focuses on the development of a novel microfluidic “cancer-on-chip” device\, a promising approach to model and study these intricated interactions in vitro. The device recapitulates key aspects of the tumour microenvironment\, including spatial organization and cellular interactions\, including cells of the immune system. By recreating an in vivo-like environment\, this platform provides insights into immune cell behaviour in the tumour ecosystem and facilitates the screening of novel immunotherapeutic strategies.

SUMMARY:8th Mutational Scanning Symposium
DESCRIPTION:8th Mutational Scanning Symposium\nMapping and Modelling Variant Effects at Scale\nMutational scanning technologies and Multiplex Assays of Variant Effects (MAVEs) are key to variant interpretation and transform our understanding of the human genome. \nAt the 8th annual meeting of the ‘Mutational Scanning Symposium’\, experts in the fields of functional genomics\, protein science\, precision medicine\, variant interpretation\, and computational genetics came from around the world to meet\, present their work\, discuss new methods and provide insights on the future of this science. \nThe conference will be a two and a half days hybrid meeting with onsite or virtual attendance. Discussions will center on a variety of exciting topics\, including variant effect prediction\, saturation mutagenesis\, sequence/structure/function relationships and protein engineering\, along with conversations about emerging technologies for functional assays and biophysical modelling. \n#VariantEffect25

SUMMARY:NET-QUASI: Workshop 1: Biophysical Principles of Self-Assembly and Self-Organization Across Living and Synthetic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Self-assembly and self-organization are fundamental principles that govern the formation of complex structures and functions across biological systems. This workshop will explore how these processes emerge in nature\, how they contribute to the organization of life\, and whether similar behaviors can be replicated in engineered systems. By bringing together perspectives from biology\, chemistry\, and physics\, our speakers aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms that drive self-organized processes in living matter across scales. A deeper understanding of these principles could not only provide insights into the fundamental organization of biological systems but also lead to the design of adaptive and responsive materials. \nScheduled Program: \n09:15 – 09:30 – Registration \n09:30 – 09:40 – Opening \n09:40 – 10:30 – Keynote speaker: Prof. Jan Brugués\, Technische Universität Dresden\, Dresden\, Germany\, “Self-organization of the cytoplasm by physical instabilities” \n10:30 – 10:50 – Dr. Pau Guillamat\, IBEC\, Barcelona\, Spain. “ From cells to smart surfaces: steering living nematics into shape” \n10:50 – 11:20 – Invited speaker: Prof. Alejandro Torres-Sánchez\, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)\, Barcelona\, Spain\, “ Break to build: how mechanical fracture patterns the beating heart ” \n11:20 – 12:00 – Coffee break \n12:00 – 12:30 – Invited speaker: Prof. Jordi Ignés-Mullol\, University of Barcelona\, Barcelona\, Spain\, “Emerging phenomena and symmetry breaking in active nematics” \n12:30 – 13:00  – Invited speaker: Prof. Maria Guix\, University of Barcelona\, Barcelona\, Spain. “ Harnessing emergent behavior in living robotic systems” \n13:00 – 13:20  – Miguel González-Martín\, IBEC\, Barcelona\, Spain.  “ Development of mechanosensitive molecules for the mechanical control of transcription” \n13:20 – 13:40 – Dr. Nina Kostina\, IBEC\, Barcelona\, Spain. “From Assembly to Action: Programming Shape and Motion in Synthetic Vesicles” \n13:40 – 14:00 – Dr. Vladislav Petrovskii\, IBEC\, Barcelona\, Spain\, “Charge–density-mediated self-assembly in vesicles of polyelectrolyte–surfactant complexes”  \n14:00 – 14:50 –  Lunch \n14:50 – 15:20 – Prof. Samuel Sánchez Ordóñez\, IBEC\, Barcelona\, Spain. “Collective behavior of chemically powered nanomotors” \n15:20 – 15:50 – Dr. Valentino Barbieri\, IBEC\, Barcelona\, Spain.  “ Supramolecular Architects: Engineering Self-Assembled Nanodrugs” \n15:50 – 16:20 – Invited speaker: Prof. Katherine Villa\,  Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ)\, Tarragona\, Spain. “ Programmable Self-Assembly in Photoactive Colloidal Motors via Light Shaping” \n16:20  – closing remarks \nTo register\, click here.
