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.

SUMMARY:Tailored Nanopatterning Scaffolds for Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration (1st Annual Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Tailored Nanopatterning Scaffolds for Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration (1st Annual Meeting)\nOrganized by: Josep Samitier and Anna Lagunas\nMusculoskeletal conditions are the second largest contributor to disability worldwide with an estimated US$30 billion spent annually on their management in the USA alone. The limited regenerative capacity of many of the tissues from the musculoskeletal system fostered the research on alternatives to the common surgical procedures\, including stem cell therapies. For that\, the development of preconditioning methods is mandatory to ensure an efficient implantation and overall success. Since nanometric environmental inputs are a paramount factor influencing cell behavior\, including stem cell migration and differentiation\, stem cell-based tissue engineering strategies are increasingly including nanoscale considerations when designing cell environments to better mimic native homeostatic conditions and drive cells towards development of the desired tissue. Within the framework of the Intramural collaboration of CIBER BBN “Tailored Nanopatterning Scaffolds for Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration”\, the members of the consortium meet in Barcelona at IBEC presenting their contributions to the topic. \n  \n\n\n\n09:30-10:00\nWelcome.

SUMMARY:IBEC B·Debate: Bioengineering for Healthy Ageing: Adding Life to Years
DESCRIPTION:Bioengineering for Healthy Ageing: Adding Life to Years\nCosmoCaixa Barcelona. C/ Isaac Newton 26\, Barcelona\nDemographic change and well-being have been identified as major societal challenges. The rapid growth of the oldest age groups will have a major impact on health care costs. Engineering must play a substantial role managing the effects of this surge in demand for healthcare and providing care to be delivered in new ways. In concrete\, biomedical engineering underpins many of the actions required to improve the quality of life of older people\, including medical\, social and infrastructure needs\, so that the degree of independence and activity for ageing citizens can be improved. \nThere is a growing need for innovative medical technology solutions that contribute to our concept of healthy ageing. Technical innovation can provide solutions such as telemetry\, distant-virtual consulting and checking\, the automation of processes\, and robot technology. Intelligent implants that use new design methods\, materials\, and software can keep patients mobile and fit as long as possible. Early recognition using accurate diagnostic equipment that employs imaging techniques\, lab-on-chip analysis\, and advanced sensors can reduce treatment costs and improve recovery rates. As a consequence\, medical care can be provided at home\, in the patient’s personal environment\, instead of in a hospital. Regenerative medicine can as well offer a solution to major clinical needs related to ageing such as heart strokes\, central/peripheral nerves damage\, osteoporosis or ulcers. \nThis B·Debate\, an initiative of Biocat and “la Caixa” Foundation\, is jointly co-organized by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and will highlight the challenges an ageing population will have to face in terms of health and wellbeing and the possible solutions bioengineering can provide. The following hot technological topics will revolutionize healthcare and assistance to aged people: M-Health\, Robotics for assisted living\, Point of care diagnostics and Regenerative therapies. \nRegister here before 7th November.

SUMMARY:From the Science of Memory to the Future of Neuroengineering
DESCRIPTION:From the Science of Memory to the Future of Neuroengineering\nwith\nNobel Laureate Edvard Moser\, Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience\nPaul F.M.J. Verschure\, ICREA\, Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC)\nIBEC’s research experts in different technologies – nanotechnology\, biotechnology\, cell engineering\, information technology and cognitive science – have been working hard for a decade to generate new knowledge and solutions for health\, with three major pillars of application in mind: Bioengineering for Future Medicine\, Bioengineering for Regenerative Therapies and Bioengineering for Active Ageing. The latter is where IBEC’s advances in minimally invasive sensors\, signal treatment\, data analysis or robotics are helping develop technologies to cope with the challenges of an ageing population. \nTo strengthen IBEC’s Bioengineering for Active Ageing programme\, and in particular its neuroengineering area\, the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) gained a world-renowned neuroscientist and psychologist with the recruitment in July 2017 of ICREA professor and ERC grantee Paul Verschure and his Synthetic Perceptive\, Emotive and Cognitive Systems group (SPECS). \nTo celebrate and introduce this new research group\, IBEC is looking forward to welcoming Nobel Laureate Edvard Moser\, Founding Director of Trondheim’s Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Co-Director of the Centre for Neural Computation\, to Barcelona in September. \nAt a special event held at Palau Macaya and supported by Obra Social “La Caixa”\, which actively collaborates with IBEC in its Active Ageing programme\, Prof. Moser will talk about his pioneering work into the basic neural computations that underlie cognition and behavior – research that has completely overturned prior conventional thinking in the field. In 2014 he and May-Britt Moser won\, together with John O’Keefe\, the Nobel Prize in Physiology for their discovery of ‘grid cells’ in the medial entorhinal cortex\, a little-understood region next to the hippocampus. These place-modulated neurons are what the brain uses to calculate the position of the organism in its spatial environment\, as their firing fields define a triangular array across the entire environment that provides the brain with an internal coordination system – not unlike GPS – that is essential for navigation. \nThis findings may have enourmous implications in brain disorders that affect episodic memory\, including dementia and disease\, as they pave the way to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying spatial memory\, which has been shown to deteriorate in mouse models of Alzheimer’s. \nIn addition to Prof. Moser’s talk\, Prof. Verschure will give an overview of how his SPECS group will fit into the research strategy of IBEC. The arrival of SPECS at the institute represents a boost to the neuroengineering research being carried out at the institute and its Bioengineering for Active Ageing programme\, and represents a solid drive towards making life science quantitative on any scale by taking full advantage of the unprecedented power of the convergence between nano\, bio and ICT (information and communications technology). \nLike IBEC\, SPECS includes physicists\, psychologists\, biologists\, engineers and computer scientists\, and will contribute greatly to IBEC’s clinical translation efforts with its strong collaborations with hospitals on rehabilitation and recovery after stroke\, epilepsy and other brain diseases. In addition\, it will further strengthen the insitute’s bioinformatics and neuroinformatics capabilities.

In 2014 he and May-Britt Moser won\, together with John O’Keefe\, the Nobel Prize in Physiology for their discovery of ‘grid cells’ in the medial entorhinal cortex\, a little-understood region next to the hippocampus. These place-modulated neurons are what the brain uses to calculate the position of the organism in its spatial environment\, as their firing fields define a triangular array across the entire environment that provides the brain with an internal coordination system – not unlike GPS – that is essential for navigation. \nThis findings may have enourmous implications in brain disorders that affect episodic memory\, including dementia and disease\, as they pave the way to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying spatial memory\, which has been shown to deteriorate in mouse models of Alzheimer’s. \nIn addition to Prof. Moser’s talk\, Prof. Verschure will give an overview of how his SPECS group will fit into the research strategy of IBEC. The arrival of SPECS at the institute represents a boost to the neuroengineering research being carried out at the institute and its Bioengineering for Active Ageing programme\, and represents a solid drive towards making life science quantitative on any scale by taking full advantage of the unprecedented power of the convergence between nano\, bio and ICT (information and communications technology). \nLike IBEC\, SPECS includes physicists\, psychologists\, biologists\, engineers and computer scientists\, and will contribute greatly to IBEC’s clinical translation efforts with its strong collaborations with hospitals on rehabilitation and recovery after stroke\, epilepsy and other brain diseases. In addition\, it will further strengthen the insitute’s bioinformatics and neuroinformatics capabilities.
