IBEC Seminar: Jaap den Toonder

Sala Baobab, Tower I, Floor 11 Baldiri i Reixac, Barcelona

Microfluidic technology enabling biomedical applications Jaap den Toonder, Microsystems Research Section, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Institute for Complex Molecular Systems, Eindhoven University of Technology. Currently, visiting professor at IBEC, Barcelona Microfluidics is the science and technology of manipulating and analyzing fluid flow at small scales, typically from millimeters down to micrometers. At these scales, ... Read more

IBEC Seminar: Josep Puigmartí-Luis

Sala Baobab, Tower I, Floor 11 Baldiri i Reixac, Barcelona

What can microfluidic technologies offer during self-assembly processes? Josep Puigmartí-Luis, Departament de Ciència dels Materials i Química Física, Institut de Química Teòrica i Computacional (invited by César Rodriguez-Emmenegger) Self-assembly has long being used to control covalent and non-covalent interactions where molecular design has been the major driving force to achieve a desired outcome. Like in ... Read more

IBEC Seminar: Martí Duocastella

Sala Baobab, Tower I, Floor 11 Baldiri i Reixac, Barcelona

Toward the next generation of 3D optical microscopes: faster, deeper, and label-free Martí Duocastella, Departament de Fisica Aplicada, Universitat de Barcelona Three-dimensional (3D) optical microscopy is the tool of choice for characterizing the structure and dynamics of biological systems at sub-cellular resolution. However, most microscope architectures are tailored to capture two-dimensional (2D) information from moderately ... Read more

IBEC Seminar: Dr. Neil Lin

Sala Baobab, Tower I, Floor 11 Baldiri i Reixac, Barcelona

Epithelial Cell Variability is Governed by Physics Principles and Has Mechanobiology Impacts Dr. Neil Lin,  Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Biological systems inherently exhibit variability, seen in diverse cell shapes, sizes, and mechanical properties. Despite its prevalence, our understanding of the role of phenotypic heterogeneity in ... Read more
