SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Guy A. Dumont
DESCRIPTION:Signal Processing and Control: From Sleep Apnea to Automated Anesthesia\nDr Guy A. Dumont\, University of British Columbia\, Vancouver\nThis talk will describe a number of key projects undertaken by the Electrical and Computer Engineering for Medicine (ECEM) and the Paediatric Anesthesia Research team (PART) at the University of British Columbia. The commonality between those projects lies in the use of advanced signal processing and control for clinical applications. The applications span mobile health applications for use in both developed and developing word settings for pathologies such as pre-eclampsia\, pneumonia and obstructive sleep apnea as well as automated drug delivery in critical care settings.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Jaume Veciana
DESCRIPTION:Multifunctional molecular nanovesicles: A new challenge for drug delivery\nProf. Jaume Veciana\, ICMAB-CSIC and CIBER-BBN\, Campus Universitari de Bellaterra\nIn this lecture a simple one-step and scale-up methodology for preparing multifunctional nanovesicle-drug conjugates will be presented. This method is readily amenable to the integration/encapsulation of multiple bioactive components\, like peptides\, proteins\, enzymes\, into the vesicles in a single-step yielding sufficient quantities for clinical research becoming\, thereby\, nanocarriers to be used in nanomedicine. A couple of examples of novel nanomedicines for solving serious diseases\, prepared by this methodology\, will be presented.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Samuel Ojosnegros
DESCRIPTION:Imaging Eph/ephrin cell-cell communication through Enhanced Number and Brightness: a novel method for the study of protein aggregation\nDr. Samuel Ojosnegros\, Centre de Medicina Regenerativa de Barcelona (CMRB)\nProteins constantly interact with each other assembling a variety of molecular species\, including small oligomers\, fibers of dynamic polymerization or high-order clusters\, among others. However\, current methods discriminate poorly the stoichiometry of protein interactions in living cells. To overcome these impediments we developed an enhanced version of Number & Brightness (eN&B)\, a powerful live imaging technique with capability to investigate multiple domains of information.  eN&B determines the distribution of protein aggregates present inside every pixel in an image during time-lapse movies. It can reach unprecedented level of space and time resolution compared to FRET-based or FCS-based methods. When studying EphB2 receptor activation\, the eN&B allowed us to resolve simultaneously the aggregation state of 40 different oligomers in 3 dimensions (x\, y\, t) and pixel depth. We found that Eph oligomerization follows a sophisticated dynamics consistent with a nucleated polymerization process\, where activation and clustering are decoupled processes. This decoupling endows the receptor with high sensitivity for low ligand concentrations while at the same time allows to provide a proportional response to a wide range of ligand concentrations. In summary\, I will present a novel imaging tool with capability to determine the stoichiometry of receptor-ligand interactions and potentially\, many other instances or protein aggregation.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Complementary Skills Session: Scientists and popularisers: challenge and responsibility
DESCRIPTION:Scientists and popularisers: challenge and responsibility\n \nDavid Bueno\, Departament de Genètica · Facultat de Biologia\, UB\nScience has become central to human life\, not just for developing new products and applications and for understanding the world\, but also as a transforming element for society and human thinking. Science is everywhere\, and often\, social organisations have to take decisions based on scientific research or with scientific implications. Moreover\, some science applications involve ethical issues\, which have to be addressed within communities. In this context\, communicating and popularizing science is a prerequisite for strengthening and deepening democratic mechanisms\, as it may strengthen the social participation of citizens with the appropriate scientific knowledge to participate in collective decisions\, with equal rights and responsibilities. In this talk\, the challenge and responsibility of scientists to contribute to science communication and popularisation will be addressed\, as well as the main principles ruling science popularisation.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar:  Josef A. Käs
DESCRIPTION:Why do rigid tumours contain soft cancer cells?\nProf. Dr. Josef A. Käs\, Principal Investigator & Head of the Soft Matter Physics Division · Leipzig University\nAs early as 400 BCE\, the Roman medical encyclopaedist Celsus recognized that solid tumours are stiffer than surrounding tissue. However\, cancer cell lines are softer\, and softer cells facilitate invasion. This paradox raises several questions: Does softness emerge from adaptation to mechanical and chemical cues in the external microenvironment\, or are soft cells already present inside a primary solid tumour? If the latter\, how can a more rígid tissue contain more soft cells? Here we show that in primary tumour samples from patients with mammary and cervix carcinomas\, cells do exhibit a broad distribution of rigidities\, with a higher fraction of softer and more contractile cells compared to normal tissue. Mechanical modelling based on patient data reveals that\, surprisingly\, tumours with a significant fraction of very soft cells can still remain rigid. Moreover\, in tissues with the observed distributions of cell stiffnesses\, softer cells spontaneously self-organize into lines or streams\, possibly facilitating cancer metastasis.

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.

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.
