SUMMARY:II International Symposium on Photopharmacology (ISPP2018)
DESCRIPTION:Innovative therapeutics using light\nPhotopharmacology is an emerging branch of science based in the administration of a photosensitive compound in combination with illumination to provide a high degree of local and temporal control of compound activity\, which makes it useful both for therapeutic applications and as a research tool. \nIn the last 10 years photopharmacology\, a polyhedric science involving biology\, pharmacology\, chemistry\, physics\, engineering and medicine\, has flourished and achieved a critical mass of researchers and resourceful methods in chemistry and optics\, raising hopes for clinical trials of the most advanced compounds. \nThe First International Symposium on Photopharmacology took place at the University Medical Center Groningen on February 16th\, 2017. Topics covered in this First Symposium ranged from photochemistry and organic synthesis to vision restoration and brain research. \nInformation: http://events.ibecbarcelona.eu/ispp2018/

SUMMARY:II International Symposium on Photopharmacology (ISPP2018)
DESCRIPTION:II International Symposium on Photopharmacology (ISPP2018) – Innovative therapeutics using light\nThe world’s leading researchers and experts in the field will meet at the second international photopharmacology symposium in Vic on 1 and 2 November. \nThe convention is being organised jointly by the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC)\, the Bioengineering Institute of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia – Spanish National Research Council (IQAC-CSIC). More than 120 people\, the vast majority of whom come from countries other than Spain\, will be attending the event\, which will take place in the Torre dels Frares building at the UVic. \nThe symposium will include around twenty lectures\, three blocks of short presentations and two poster sessions. The speakers include Ben Feringa\, of the University of Groningen (Netherlands)\, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016 for the design and synthesis of molecular machines – an award he shared with Jean-Pierre Sauvage and Fraser Stoddart. Among others\, the scheduled lectures include those by Edith C. Glazer of the University of Kentucky\, who is working on the development of complex metals such as possible photoactive drugs\, and by Austria’s Dirk Trauner of the University of New York\, focusing on the application of photopharmacology in neurobiology. One of the main achievements of his team\, working with Richard Kramer and Ehud Isacoff\, has been to restore sight in blind animals\, using drugs that respond to visible light as molecular prostheses. \nInformation: http://events.ibecbarcelona.eu/ispp2018/ \n  \nWhat is photopharmacology? \nPhotopharmacology is based on administering photosensitive compounds as drugs\, which are only activated and take effect in combination with light. This specific characteristic provides a high level of control over the administration of medications and therapies\, since it means that the specific point of the body where it is applied and the duration of the application can be decided. This precision and location means that as a technique\, photopharmacological treatments are not invasive\, and can achieve optimum results with minimal secondary effects. \nAlthough its history dates back to the 1960s\, photopharmacology has primarily developed over the last ten years. During this period\, a significant critical mass of researchers has been created in research centres and universities around the world that focus on the field from various perspectives. It is a multifaceted science\, which includes biology\, pharmacology\, physics\, chemistry\, engineering and medicine. Its applications are also extremely wide-ranging: it may be therapeutically useful in a wide variety of medical fields\, within which neurosciences and cardiology are particularly important. Some applications that are being studied could also provide substantial improvements in pathologies such as diabetes and chronic pain. Photopharmacology can also be used as a research tool\, and can be combined with other technologies\, such as materials nanotechnology. \n

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Benedetta Bolognesi
DESCRIPTION:The mutational landscape of a prion-like domain\nBenedetta Bolognesi\, IBEC\nAt least 70 human RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) contain a prion-like domain (PrLD). PrLDs are low complexity domains which resemble in composition the infectious yeast prions. Mutations in PrLDs are associated to the onset of many neurodegenerative conditions\, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). PrLDs are able to populate multiple physical states: diffuse\, liquid de-mixed\, insoluble amyloid. Pathological mutations affect these equilibria in ways we cannot yet fully understand\, or predict. The TAR DNA binding protein TDP-43 contains a 140 aa long PrLD and forms cytoplasmic aggregates in most cases of ALS. We use deep mutational scanning to understand how sequence determines the toxicity of TDP-43 in a yeast model. I will present the first “genotype-to-phenotype” map of TDP-43 where we quantify the effect of all possible amino acid substitutions in the PrLD on cellular fitness. While allowing us to understand the impact of mutations within low-complexity regions\, these data provide the basis to understand by which mechanism protein inclusions drive pathogenesis. \n

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Rubén Moreno-Bote
DESCRIPTION:Aligned neuronal encoding of sensory information\, biases and choices in perceptual decision making\nRubén Moreno-Bote\, Serra Hunter Associate Professor\, UPF\nIdentifying what aspects of neuronal population activity are relevant for the encoding of information and choices is a crucial step toward understanding the neural code. Several statistical features of the neuronal population responses\, such as tuning\, synchronization and global activity could affect the amount of information encoded and modulate behavioral performance. Here we show\, however\, that only two of these features correlate wtih information: the length of the vector joining the mean responses across conditions and the inverse trial-by-trial variability of the responses projected along that vector. We find that modulations of the two statistical features are correlated with fluctuations of behavioral performance in various tasks. In contrast\, modulations in mean correlations among neurons and global activity have negligible or no consistent effects on information encoding and behavioral performance. These results suggest that the neuronal representation of sensory information and choices are aligned. Interestingly\, we also find that harmful\, intrinsically generated behavioral biases are aligned with the choice representation in neuronal populations in the prefrontal cortex. I will describe a recently published sequential theory of decision making that could explain why these variables are represented along aligned axes in neuronal activity space. \n
