Online IBEC Seminar: Xavier Trepat

Mechanobiology of intestinal organoids Xavier Trepat, IBEC Intestinal organoids capture essential features of the intestinal epithelium such as folding of the crypt, spatial compartmentalization of different cell types, and cellular movements from crypt to villus-like domains. Each of these processes and their coordination in time and space requires patterned physical forces that are currently unknown. ... Read more

Bioengineering and MedTtech against cancer

Bioengineering & MedTtech against cancer   To meet the challenges in healthcare of the 21st century, it is important to combined bioengineering and MedTech to develop biological system analyze and treatment to treat specifically cancer cells and protect the rest of the patient’s body by limiting side effects. To accomplish this, we need to promote ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Paul Verschure

The volitional brain in action: counterfactual error and the virtualization of memory Volitional motor control can be seen as the result of a gradual replacement of feedback by feedforward control. We have addressed this question from the perspective of an integrated architecture called the Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC) theory of mind and brain. DAC proposes ... Read more

PhD Thesis Defense: Anna Vila Giraut

Hydrogel co-networks of gelatin methacryloyl and poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate sustain 3D functional in vitro models of intestinal mucosa Anna Vila Giraut, Biomimetic systems for cell engineering Group Conventional in vitro cell culture models do not possess the complexity that the native tissues offer. Because of this, the functional properties of the tissues are not properly mimicked, which ... Read more

PhD Discussions Sessions: Nimesh Ramesh and Sock Ching Low

Microfluidic device for engineering 3D epithelial monolayers with controlled pressure Nimesh Ramesh, Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics The remarkable feature of the epithelial sheets is to form specialized 3D structures suited to their physiological roles, such as highly branched structures in the lungs, drastic shape changes during embryonic development, or self-organizing organoids. These tissues are ... Read more

PhD Thesis Defense: Elena Lantero

Targeting strategies against Plasmodium and practical applications: blocking parasite development with heparin derivatives and identifying new aptamers for diagnosis Elena Lantero, Nanomalaria Group This thesis defense will take place ONLINE on the 11th December at 14.00 using the “BB Collaborate” streaming platform.

PhD Thesis Defense: Sock Ching Low

Giving Centre Stage to Top-Down Inhibitory Mechanisms for Selective Attention Sock Ching Low, SPECS (Synthetic, Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems) Selective attention determines the sensory signals that are processed at higher levels at the expense of others and is biased by higher-order brain regions which anticipate task-relevant stimuli and increase neural sensitivity to them in ...
