SUMMARY:IRB Research Node/IBEC Joint Seminar: Nunilo Cremades
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday 19 January 2023\, 9:30h\nPlace: Felix Serratosa Hall\, PCB \nSpeaker: Nunilo Cremades\, PhD – Associate Professor at Dept. Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology and Group Leader at Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI)\, University of Zaragoza\, Spain \nTitle:  Liquid-liquid phase separation and co-aggregation of neurodegenerative disease-related alpha-synuclein and Tau proteins \nHost: Xavier Salvatella (IRB) & Benedetta Bolognesi (IBEC) \nAbstract: \nSpatial segregation in the cell can be achieved through the formation of protein-rich liquid-like dense bodies\, termed biomolecular condensates or liquid droplets\, through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Emerging evidence supports the hypothesis that aberrant protein-driven LLPS and the transition of the liquid droplets to solid-like structures might be a relevant cellular pathway leading to the formation of amyloid\, toxic aggregates that are often a hallmark of relevant neurodegenerative diseases. A number of experimental studies have highlighted the flexible\, typically disordered and ‘multivalent’ nature of the constituent proteins in these liquid-like condensates\, although less is known about the particular molecular determinants governing the growth and maturation of these condensates into more solid-like states. While the LLPS process of Tau\, the protein that is generally associated with Alzheimer´s disease\, has been recently clarified\, that of alpha-synuclein (αS)\, the protein linked to Parkinson´s disease\, remains obscure. In this talk\, I will show our recent findings that demonstrate that αS actively phase-separates into liquid condensates by electrostatic complex coacervation with positively charged polypeptides such as Tau. By combining a set of advanced biophysical techniques\, we have been able to characterize αS/Tau LLPS and identified key factors leading to the co-aggregation of both proteins inside the coacervates. The mechanism of co-aggregation between αS and Tau that we have identified could be the basis for the in vivo formation of αS/Tau hetero-aggregates observed in the brains of patients suffering from synucleinopathies.

SUMMARY:News\, Updates and opportunities for funding at the European Research Council (ERC)
DESCRIPTION:News\, Updates and opportunities for funding at the European Research Council (ERC) \nAndrás Badacsonyi\, Scientific Officer European Research Council Executive Agency \nThe European Research Council (ERC is the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research. I was set up by the European Commission responding to a demand from the scientific community in 2007. The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields\, based on scientific excellence. \nThrough its long-term grants\, it provides scientific freedom and financial stability to its grantees and the reputation of excellent research. ERC projects have led to more than 200’000 articles published in scientific journals\, over 2’200 patents and other IPR applications\, and ERC grantees founded or co-founded over 400 start-ups so far. \nThe presentation will introduce ERC\, its grants and the evaluation process. I will explain the recently introduced changes in the evaluation and I will try to give some pragmatic advice to those who intend to apply for ERC funding. At the same time\, I will also clarify some misunderstandings and incorrect information about ERC evaluations. \n\nAGENDA \n15:00-15:05 – Welcome\nCommercialization & Communications Director PCB & Samuel Sánchez ICREA Professor and Group Leader Deputy Director for the Internationalization and Institutional relations IBEC. \n15:05 – 16:00 – Seminar\nNews\, updates and opportunities for funding at the ERC\, Dr. András Badacsonyi\, ERC Scientific Officer at the European Research Council Executive Agency. \n16:00 – 16:20 Q&A session \nClick here to register
