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

SUMMARY:1st EIT Health Innovation Day
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce the celebration of the first \nEIT Health Innovation Day\nin Barcelona on November 24th\, 2018\, at the historical building of the Universitat de Barcelona with the participation of IBEC. Innovation Days will take place in 19 different locations this year and for the first time Barcelona is among them. \nThe purpose of this initiative is to encourage and promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship\, applied in this occasion to the Health sector\, among students. During the day\, you will be able to tackle real life challenges in healthy leaving and active ageing. You will also share the experience with participants from a variety of disciplines\, origins and backgrounds and you will be provided the necessary tools and coaching to develop a new solution for the industry. \ni-Day Barcelona will invite inspirational speakers and experts within the field of health innovation. You will be able to form multidisciplinary teams to develop real and viable innovations\, compete for i-Day prizes and learn practical skills in innovation! Three prizes will be awarded (1st prize 500€\, 2nd prize 300€ and 3rd prize 200€). The winning team will also have the opportunity to participate in the i-Day Winners’ Event that will take place on December 11th & 12th in London\, with travel and lodging expenses covered. \nWe are looking for engaging participants with a strong entrepreneurial spirit\, including those with little or no knowledge of developing health innovations\, coming from different backgrounds. \nIf you are interested in joining the EIT Health Innovation Day in Barcelona\, please sign up for the event in the following link:\nhttps://www.ub.edu/ubforms/en/iday/innovation-day-registration-form \n(Registration can be made individually or in teams. Teams should be built of multidisciplinary members\, that is to say of members from different faculties and academic programs or areas of research). \nRegistrations will be open until November 11th. \nFor any doubts or further info\, please contact: idaybarcelona@ub.edu

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Sessions: Martí Checa and Javier Rodríguez
DESCRIPTION:Nanoscale Dielectric Imaging by 3D-Electrostatic Force Microscopy\nMartí Checa\, Nanoscale bioelectrical characterization\nWe present Electrostatic Force Volume Microscopy (EFVM) for nanoscale dielectric imaging. EFVM is a new 3D-SPM technique\, based in the acquisition of electrostatic force approach curves at each point of a sample and its post-processing and quantification to obtain both Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) images and dielectric constant maps. We show that with a single set of EFVM data one can obtain EFM images in all currently available EFM imaging modes (e.g. constant height\, lift mode\, constant electric force\, etc.) and at any desired tip-sample distance or electric force set point. EFVM enables\, in addition\, obtaining EFM images under acquisition settings that cannot be implemented in any existing EFM instrument. Finally\, EFVM allows obtaining maps of the dielectric constant of the sample with unparalleled accuracy and spatial resolution\, irrespectively of the sample topography. We report applications of EFVM to thin oxide films\, silver nanowires and single bacterial cells to show the broad applicability of the technique. EFVM is expected to have an important impact in the nanoscale dielectric mapping of topographically complex samples in Materials and Life Sciences. \n  \nSudden cardiac death risk stratification of idiopathic cardiomyopathy patients by the application of cardiovascular coupling analysis\nJavier Rodríguez\, Biomedical signal processing and interpretation\nCardiovascular diseases are one of the most common cause of death. Early detection of patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is still an issue. The aim of this study was to analyze the cardio-vascular couplings based on heart rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure variability (BPV) analysis in order to introduce new indices that allow noninvasive risk stratification in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy patients (IDC). \nHigh-resolution electrocardiogram (ECG) and continuous noninvasive blood pressure (BP) signals were recorded from 91 IDC patients and 49 healthy subjects (CON) for 30 minutes. During a follow-up period of 2 years\, 14 patients either died or suffered life-threatening complications due to their cardiac condition. From the ECG and BP signals\, the beat-to-beat interval\, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were extracted. All this new information was analyzed\, in univariate and bivariate ways\, using the segmented Poincaré plot analysis\, the high resolution joint symbolic dynamics and the normalized short time partial directed coherence methods. Indices with statistical significance between different SCD risk levels were selected. Support vector machine (SVM) models were built in order to classify these patients by their level of SCD risk. Patients at high risk of SCD (IDCHR) presented lowered HRV and increased BPV compared to both the low risk patients (IDCLR) and the control subjects\, suggesting a depression in their vagal activity and a compensation from the sympathetic activity. The coupling strength from both\, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure to the cardiac activity were stronger in high risk patients. Additionally\, the cardio-systolic coupling analysis revealed that the systolic influence over the heart rate gets weaker as the risk increases. The SVM IDCLR vs IDCHR model achieved 98.9% accuracy with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.96. When comparing IDC vs CON groups\, 93.6% and 0.94 accuracy and AUC were obtained\, respectively. In order to simulate the case were the original status of the subject is unknown\, a cascade model was built fusing the aforementioned models\, achieving 94.4% accuracy. \nIn conclusion\, this study introduced a novel method of SCD risk stratification of IDC patients based on new indices from coupling analysis and non-linear HRV and BPV. We uncovered some of the complex interactions within the autonomic regulation in this type of patients. \n

SUMMARY:Scanning Tiny Biology
DESCRIPTION:Scanning Tiny Biology is a workshop dedicated to life sciences and nanomedicine applications of Scanning Probe Microscopies (SPM). \nThese techniques provide quantitative information from local and single-molecule measurements\, unveiling signatures that are normally obscured by the ensemble average in bulk experiments. With SPM\, specific biological mechanisms can be elucidated\, providing novel solutions for healthcare. \nThis meeting will give an overview on advances in the field through keynote presentations and discussions\, joining national and international experts. Topics include the study of biophysics of molecules\, membranes and cells combining imaging and spectroscopy measurements. \nWho should attend? Chemists\, physicists\, biologists\, biophysicists and nanotechnologists and any other curious scientist. \nOrganizing committee:\nMarina Inés Giannotti\, IBEC\nAnna Lagunas\, IBEC

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Dominque Martínez\, Lorraine Laboratory of Research in Informatics and its Applications - CNRS
DESCRIPTION:Neural computations of olfactory navigation\nDominque Martínez\, Lorraine Laboratory of Research in Informatics and its Applications – CNRS\nI will present my work in computational neuroscience and neuro-robotics aiming at understanding the odour-guided behaviour of animals\, especially insects. At the application level\, the challenge is to create innovative olfactory sensors and robots that reproduce certain aspects of animal behaviour. A virtuous circle is created where biological models benefit from robotic experiments and inspire them in return. The most demonstrative result concerns a hybrid robot with insect antennae as biosensors for the detection and localization of chemical sources. If time allows\, I will also present another project carried out at our laboratory about modelling the brain oscillatory activity in Parkinson’s disease.\n \nDominque is a visiting researcher in the Signal and information processing for sensing systems group at IBEC \n
