Online IBEC Seminar: Samuel Sánchez

BioEngineering Hybrid Robotic Machines: from nanobots to 3D Bioprinted Robots Samuel Sánchez , IBEC The combination of biological components and artificial ones emerges into what we called hybrid machines/bots/robots. Here, I will present two types of hybrid systems that we are currently developing in our lab which span across different length scales, from a few ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Elena Martínez

Development of biomimetic models of intestinal tissue: guiding cellular self-organization through biofabrication techniques Elena Martínez , IBEC Epithelial tissues contain three-dimensional (3D) microstructures that guide cell self-organization at the tissue level. In the small intestine, crypts and finger-like villi microstructures improve its absorbance function, provides specific microenvironments and compartmentalizes cell types. Despite its physiological relevance, ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Gabriel Gomila

Multiscale approach to bioelectricity Gabriel Gomila , IBEC Understanding how electricity is generated and propagated in living systems is key to understand many physiological processes and to develop medical instruments for diagnosis, monitoring and therapy. In this seminar I will present the multiscale approach to bioelectricity developed in our research group at IBEC, which covers ... Read more

Research4Talent

On Wednesday 20th May we’ll open our doors virtually to UNDERGRADUATE & MASTER’s students interested in a research career The day is a chance for you to talk to our researchers and ask them questions about their day-to-day work in the lab, career paths, work-life balance, mobility etc, as well as a visit to our ...

Online IBEC Seminar: Giuseppe Battaglia

Bionics at the molecular level: copying Nature to control Nature Giuseppe Battaglia , IBEC A very established approach in medicine involves the replacement of organs or other malfunctioning body parts by synthetic versions, engineered to mimic (or even augment it, if you allow the sci-fi digression) the original function. Bionics is a very established medical ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Benedetta Bolognesi

Deep mutagenesis to understand Protein Phase Transitions Benedetta Bolognesi , IBEC Specific insoluble protein aggregates are the hallmarks of many neurodegenerative diseases. Whether the protein aggregates themselves or other forms of the proteins are toxic to cells is still unclear in many of these diseases. This lack of understanding of the causes of cellular toxicity is ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Pere Roca-Cusachs

IBEC

Sensing the matrix: transducing mechanical signals from integrins to the nucleus Pere Roca-Cusachs , IBEC Cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as key processes in development, tumorigenesis, and wound healing, are strongly determined by the properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), including its mechanical rigidity and the density and distribution of its ligands. In this talk, ... Read more

Online IBEC Seminar: Santiago Marco

Signal and Data Processing Workflows for Untargeted Chemical Analysis: Sensor Array and Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Complex Gas Samples Santiago Marco , IBEC In diverse sectors such as health, food, environment, complex natural gas samples are analysed. Those samples can contain hundreds or thousands of compounds. In many cases, the question to be answered does not ... Read more

PhD Thesis defense: Helena Lozano

Electrical and topographical study of bacterial appendages at the nanoscale Helena Lozano, Nanoscale bioelectrical characterization group Some bacteria can exchange electrons with non-soluble electron acceptors, such as minerals. This phenomenon is called Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) and it can be done through several mechanisms, especially through conductive bacterial nanowires. The main objective of this thesis ...

InsideScientific: Javier Burgués

Decoding Turbulent Chemical Plumes with Improved Signal Processing and Machine Learning Javier Burgués, Signal and information processing for sensing systems group Millions of years of evolution has aided animals and insects to develop the highly sensitive ability to track and navigate odor plumes over great distances.  This behavior is integral to their survival and propagation ...
