SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar (Bellvitge): Martin Lohse\, University of Würzburg
DESCRIPTION:Optical studies of receptor activation and signaling\nProf. Dr. Martin Lohse\, Chairman of the Rudolf Virchow Center for Experimental Biomedicine\, University of Würzburg\, Germany\nCyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) belong to the most ubiquitous intracellular messengers\, are produced in response to multiple stimuli\, act on several intracellular targets\, and regulate a vast array of biological functions. \nHowever\, in spite of the fundamental importance of these signaling systems\, very little is known about the temporal and spatial patterns of their production and action. In fact\, space and time seem to play almost no role in current concepts of intracellular signaling. To gain an insight into these dimensions\, we develop methods to create images of these second messengers in intact cells\, and to resolve these intracellular signals in space and in time.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Michael Schmuker
DESCRIPTION:Neural computation in odour space\nDr. Michael Schmuker\, School of Engineering and Informatics\, University of Sussex\, UK\nOur sense of smell enables us to explore the world of chemical information. Yet\, our knowledge on the structure of chemical stimulus space still lacks far behind other modalities like vision or hearing. This lack of knowledge currently presents a major roadblock for understanding how the brain efficiently encodes chemical information. Moreover\, a better understanding of odour space\, and how it is processed in the brain\, may also enable bio-inspired design of efficient technical solutions for chemical sensing. \nIn this presentation\, I will give an overview on our research on how the olfactory systems of insects and vertebrates encode and transform chemical information on its way from the primary sensors to higher brain areas. These investigations inspired us to implement the key concepts of olfactory processing on a neuromorphic hardware system that uses spiking neuronal networks to perform pattern recognition in high-dimensional feature spaces. I will also present our recent findings on how to extract information about source distance from the fine-structure of gas plumes.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar:  Josep Roca
DESCRIPTION:From Systems Understanding to Personalized Medicine: Lessons and Recommendations based on a multi-disciplinary and translational analysis of COPD \nDr.  Josep Roca\, UB / IDIBAPS / Hospital Clinic\nSystems medicine\, using and adapting methods and approaches as developed within systems biology\, promises to be central in ongoing efforts of realizing and implementing personalized medicine in clinical practice and research. Here we review and critically assess opportunities and challenges using our work on COPD as a case study. We find that there are significant biomedical challenges in how to unravel complex multi-factorial components in disease initiation and progression producing different clinical phenotypes. Yet\, while such a system understanding of COPD is necessary\, there are other auxiliary challenges that need to be addressed in concert with a systems analysis of COPD. These include information and communication technologies (ICT) related issues such as data harmonization\, systematic handling of knowledge\, computational modeling\, and importantly their translation and support of clinical practice. For example\, clinical decision support systems need a seamless integration with new models and knowledge as systems analysis of COPD continues to develop. Our experience with clinical implementation of COPD highlights the need for a change of management including design of appropriate business models\, and adoption of ICT providing and supporting organizational interoperability among professional teams across healthcare tiers\, working around the patient. In conclusion\, in our hands the scope and efforts of systems medicine need to concurrently consider these aspects clinical implementation this driving the selection of most relevant issues and method in a systems analysis of disease.
