SUMMARY:Ibec seminar. Dr Remy Chiaffarelli
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid PET/MR Imaging of Tumour Physiology: from Perfusion to Extracellular Lactate\nDr Remy Chiaffarelli\, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen \n\nTumour progression is driven by metabolic and vascular changes that shape the tumour microenvironment. We developed new hybrid PET/MRI probes to detect and quantify tumour physiology and its compartmentalization\, with a focus on extracellular lactate and perfusion. By combining responsive CEST MRI contrast agents with PET-based quantification\, these probes provide complementary functional and quantitative information for preclinical metabolic imaging. Our findings demonstrate the value of these approaches for characterising tumour heterogeneity and metabolic dynamics\, providing insights into cancer biology and supporting the development of more precise imaging biomarker.

SUMMARY:Thematic Network. Final Retreat NET QUASI: Ways of Seeing
DESCRIPTION:Ways of Seeing \nNature is a master designer\, shaping molecules\, materials\, organisms\, and ecosystems through interactions across scales. Yet many of its most remarkable strategies remain hidden in plain sight\, waiting to be revealed through careful observation. Scientific discovery often begins not with a hypothesis\, but with a way of seeing: the ability to notice patterns\, ask unexpected questions\, and look at familiar phenomena from a different perspective.  \nWith this retreat\, we would like to celebrate observation as a catalyst for curiosity\, understanding\, discovery\, and innovation. Together\, we will reflect on how attentiveness to the natural world inspires new ideas\, challenges existing assumptions\, and opens pathways to scientific and technological breakthroughs. Through the exchange of perspectives and experiences\, we hope to explore how careful observation can transform wonder into understanding\, and how insights from nature can inspire entirely new ways of designing. \nAgenda\n14:30 – 14:45 : Opening Remarks\n14:45 – 16:00: Keynote Lecture  Prof. Saad Bhamla (Georgia Institute of Technology\, USA)\n16:00 – 17:30 : Documentary Screening: Observer. Director: Ian Cheney\nIn the 95-minute doc\, Cheney brings a series of keen-eyed observers — scientists\, artists\, and a hunter — to a range of locations around the world and asks them to describe what they see. What unfolds is a thought-provoking journey into the simple but transformative act of observing.\n17:30 – 18:15: Round Table Discussion Ways of Seeing: What Can Nature Still Teach Us?\n18:15 – 18:30: Closing Remarks\n18:30 : Networking Reception & Refreshments  \n  \nTo register click here.

SUMMARY:Thematic Network. NET-QUASI Workshop 4
DESCRIPTION:Constructing Biological Complexity: Engineering Interactions Across Scales \nBiological systems achieve remarkable functionality through interactions that span multiple scales\, from molecular assemblies and cellular compartments to tissues and complex microenvironments. Understanding how these interactions give rise to emergent behaviors is a central challenge in contemporary bioengineering and synthetic biology.  \nThis workshop brings together researchers exploring how biological complexity can be reconstructed\, controlled\, and harnessed through engineering approaches. Topics range from the biochemical reconstitution of cellular processes and the design of synthetic cellular systems to mechanobiology\, collective cell behavior\, immune microenvironments\, and advanced therapeutic technologies.  \nAgenda:\n09:30 – 09:40 Opening Remarks\n09:40 – 10:35 Keynote Lecture I  – Prof. Dr. Germán Rivas (CIB Margarita Salas\, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)\, Madrid\, Spain)\nTitle: Synthetic Cell Division via Biochemical Reconstitution\n10:40 – 11:25 Invited Lecture I  – Dr. Margherita Staykova (Department of Physics\, Durham University\, UK)\nTitle: TBA\n11:25– 12:00 Coffee Break\n12:00 – 12:55 Keynote Lecture II – Prof. Oskar Staufer (INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials\, Saarbrücken\, Germany)\nTitle: Building Immunity from the Bottom-Up: Synthetic Cell-Based Tumor Immune Microenvironments\n13:00 – 13:30 Early Career IBEC Lecture – M.Sc. Inés Macías Tarrio (Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia\, Spain)\nTitle: Nanomotors Boost FGFR3-Targeted Therapy in Bladder Cancer\n13:30– 14:30 Lunch Break\n14:30 – 15:15 IBEC Lecture I Prof. Dr. Pere Roca-Cusachs (Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia\, Spain)\nTitle: TBA  \nTo register click here
