IBEC Seminar

Peptides and bioinstructive polymers on surfaces for prevention of oral infections Conrado Aparicio, Faculty of Odontology, UIC Barcelona and Associated Researcher – IBEC Oral infections are the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. We have explored bioinspired modification of surfaces of restorative/regenerative materials and implants as well as dental tissues to address oral infections by harnessing ... Read more

Multicellular coordination in context Takashi Hiiragi, Hubrecht Institute, The Netherlands A defining feature of living systems is the capacity to break symmetry and generate well-defined forms and patterns through self-organisation. Our group aims to understand the design principle of multicellular living systems using early mouse embryos as a model system. We developed an experimental framework ... Read more

Is the price of pharmaceutical drugs justified? Astrid Viciano, IBEC 10 euros, 1000 euros, or rather 1 million? Many new medicines that have recently reached the market are prohibitively expensive. But are these prices justified? Science reporter Astrid Viciano has investigated the high prices of innovative therapies. For these investigations, she received a number of ... Read more

Epitope barcoding and subcellular high-plex imaging reveal clonal tumor patch behaviors Xavier Rovira-Clavé, PhD Intratumoral heterogeneity is a seminal feature of human tumors contributing to tumor progression and response to treatment. Current technologies are still largely unsuitable to accurately track phenotypes and clonal evolution within tumors, especially in response to genetic manipulations. In this seminar ... Read more

The role of inhibition in hippocampal coding Manuel Valero, PhD NYU Neuroscience Institute, New York University (US) The fundamental computation a single neuron performs is to integrate incoming excitatory and inhibitory inputs to decide whether to fire an action potential and feedback its activity into the network. Investigation of this synaptic computation requires access to ... Read more
