SUMMARY:Reformant l’avaluació de la recerca per afavorir la qualitat i l’impacte científic
DESCRIPTION:Hi ha un gran consens entre la comunitat investigadora en general sobre la necessitat de reformar les pràctiques d’avaluació de la recerca. L’avaluació de la recerca\, els investigadors i les organitzacions de recerca han de reconèixer els diversos resultats\, pràctiques i activitats que maximitzen la qualitat i l’impacte de la recerca. Això\, requereix basar l’avaluació principalment en dades qualitatives\, per al qual la revisió per parells és central\, recolzada per l’ús responsable d’indicadors quantitatius.  \nPer avançar cap a aquesta reforma de l’avaluació de la recerca\, ja hi ha diferents iniciatives. Entre elles\, CoARA\, la Coalició per a l’Avenç de l’Avaluació de la Recerca.  \nEs tracta d’un esforç col·lectiu en què totes les institucions\, des de les universitats\, les organitzacions de recerca fins a les agències avaluadores i els finançadors\, han de treballar juntes.  \nEn aquest workshop aprendrem de les experiències de diferents institucions en la implementació dels principis CoARA i discutirem com podem avançar cap a un sistema de recerca d’avaluació més just i impactant.    \nTo register cilck here

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.

This talk will explore the use of surface nanopatterning techniques and their functionalization with adhesive ligands to study receptor clustering and its implications for crosstalk in the adhesion and migration of single and collective cells. We aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying integrin signaling\, cadherin-mediated cell-cell junctions\, and their interplay during migration. Examples will highlight how these approaches provide understanding of fundamental cell biology and their potential implications in tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis.  \nProf. Dr. E. Ada Cavalcanti-Adam is currently a full professor for Cellular Biomechanics at the University of Bayreuth\, Germany. Education: doctor degree in Dental Medicine from Italy\, M.Sc. degree in Biology from University of Pennsylvania (USA) and PhD in Biosciences at Heidelberg University.\nShe was Postdoctoral Fellow and later project leader at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart. After completing her Habilitation\, from 2017 until 2023 she was research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg and head of the Central Scientific Facility “Cellular Biotechnology; she also served as adjunct faculty at the Heidelberg University.\nIn 2004 she received the Marie Curie Intra-European fellowship\, in 2008 a fellowship from the „Christiane Nüsslein-Volhardt Foundation“ and the Prize „For Women in Science“. Her research focuses on the mechanobiology of cell adhesion\, investigating how cells interact with their physical environment at the molecular level.  \n  \n Prof. Dr. María García-Parajo\, Institute of Photonic Science (ICFO) & Catalan Institute for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA). \nSingle molecule imaging tools to unravel  spatiotemporal compartmentalisation in living cells   \nOrganisation by compartmentalisation is a general property of natural systems that efficiently facilitates and orchestrates biological events in space and time. Super-resolution microscopy and single molecule dynamic approaches have revealed that compartmentalisation starts at the nanometre scale with molecules organising and interacting transiently with each other following modularity principles. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of recent super-resolution and single molecule dynamic approaches ideally tailored to study biological systems with exquisite spatiotemporal resolution. I will describe the combination of multicolour single particle tracking (SPT) at different labelling densities to resolve in real time multi-molecular interactions in living cells. Low density SPT conditions allows to reconstruct the mobility of individual molecules and their transient interactions\, while high density conditions provide unique information on the spatial and temporal length scales of cellular regions re-visited (or forbidden) for molecules. We find that molecular diffusion\, transient multi-molecular interactions and dynamic re-modelling of the environment play key roles regulating biological function.  \nMaria Garcia-Parajo is an ICREA Research Professor at ICFO-Institute of Photonic Sciences\, leading the Single Molecule Biophotonics group.

SUMMARY:THE BARCELONA BLOOD-BRAIN-BARRIER (B4) SYMPOSIUM
DESCRIPTION:To fulfil the promise of applying bioengineering to improve the lives of patients\, we need to adopt a holistic approach encompassing understanding of biological/pathological mechanisms\, development of engineered systems\, and consideration of clinical needs. Hence\, the B4 symposium\, by bringing together experts studying the BBB from a biological\, engineering and medical perspective\, will greatly aid IBEC in its goal of developing bioengineering solutions to deliver therapies against brain disorders. \nBarcelona is home to numerous research groups pushing forward the knowledge frontier of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and its role in brain disorders. To foment interaction across this community\, we are organizing the Barcelona Blood-Brain-Barrier (B4) symposium to bring the BBB-community of Barcelona together to discuss advances in the field. The event will focus on the mechanisms underlying BBB physiology (e.g.\, brain endothelial specialization\, neurovascular coupling\, molecular transport)\, its role in brain disorders (neurodegeneration\, infectious diseases\, cancer)\, and nano/bioengineering strategies to deliver therapies across the BBB. \nThe first edition of this symposium will take place on May 21st-22nd\, 2024. As our inaugural keynote speaker\, we have the honour to welcome Prof. Martin Lauritzen (Copenhagen University). Prof. Lauritzen has been instrumental in our understanding of regulation of cerebral blood-flow by the neurovascular unit\, nanoparticle transport dynamics across the BBB\, and in developing in vivo imaging systems to study the brain vasculature. \n\n\n\nCheck que program and register here.

SUMMARY:Workshop “Bioaction: The new tissue engineering approaches in bone infections"
DESCRIPTION:Workshop held in the framework of the EIC Pathfinder project BIOACTION “Bacteria biofilm as bio-factory for tissue regeneration” (Project Number 101098972). \nBIOACTION aims at developing a new methodology in implant technology based on functionalized bio-hydrogels that will convert the negative occurrence of biofilm-associated infections\, the primary cause of implant infections and failure\, into a positive resource. The main goal of BIOACTION is to transform implant-associated bacteria for the programmable production of specific proteins for in vivo cell recruitment and tissue regeneration\, exploiting gene sequences loaded on engineered liposomes and phages\, bound to hydrogel scaffolds. BIOACTION will develop new biomimetic substrates that can transform biofilm into extracellular matrix for the regeneration of target tissues. It will establish a high versatile technology to be used as injectable materials and implant coatings for periodontal and peri-implant infection treatments. The proposed approach will be validated in two clinically relevant animal models: dental implant and permanent transcutaneous bone. \nBIOACTION\, would radically advance the future of infection treatment by revolutionizing the classical approaches leading to the improvement of state of care\, health outcomes and to achieve huge socio-economic benefits. The project is strongly interdisciplinary in nature involving expertise biomaterials\, synthetic biology\, phage and liposome technology\, medicine. \nAs a results\, this innovative approach will bring the research and knowledge far beyond the current state-of-the-art and will lead\, through the planned validation\, as proof-of-concept of new materials and technique with a broader application in regenerative medicine. \nIn this workshop\, participants from all the institutions involved in the project will explain their research and activities. \n  \nChairs: Elisabeth Engel\, Luigi Ambrosio \n14:30 – Claudia Siverini and Marco Chittò (AO Foundation)\, “Bone infections and treatments” \n14:45 – Dorien Van Hede (Université de Liege)\, “Dental infections and treatments” \n15:00 – Diego Cotella (Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale)\, “Phages to control biofilms” \n15:15 – Dr. Cecilia Bombelli (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – Instituto per i Sistemi biologici)\, “Liposomes in gene therapy” \n15:30 – Ramūnas Valiokas (Ferentis)\, “Crosslinked peptide hydrogels for tissue engineering and modeling” \n15:45 – Giovanna Gomez d’Ayala (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – Instituto per i Polimeri\, Compositi e Biomateriali)\, “Hydrogels for tissue regeneration” \n16:00 – Oscar Castaño (IBEC)\, “Advanced characterization methodology” \n16:15 – Roberta Marzella (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – IPCB) and Michela Candotti (IN Society) – “Tips on Management and Dissemination of European Projects” \n16:30 Discussion and conclusions

SUMMARY:Before mechanobiology had a name
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of three decades of cell biophysics research in Barcelona\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Barcelona area is currently recognized as an important hub for the scientific field of mechanobiology\, and of cell biophysics in general. This achievement is due to the work over decades of local scientists. Among them\, Prof. Daniel Navajas stands out as a pioneer in the field\, before it was even called mechanobiology. His work led to important scientific achievements in cell mechanics. Perhaps even more importantly\, his dedicated mentorship produced a new generation of scientists who have established their own labs and are currently expanding mechanobiology in new directions. \nOn the occasion of Prof. Navajas’s retirement\, we take the opportunity to celebrate Mechanobiology and cell biophysics\, with a symposium combining talks from former trainees and invited speakers. \nThe symposium will honor an exciting trajectory along three decades\, but will be focused on current\, ongoing research. As such\, it will be of interest to anyone interested in mechanobiology\, with or without a relationship to the work of Prof. Navajas.  \nRegistration here.
