SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Myriam M. Chaumeil
DESCRIPTION:Imaging metabolism in neurological disorders\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor in Residence\, Departments of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science & Radiology and Biomedical Imaging\, UCSFInvestigator\, Quantitative Bioscience Institutes (QBI)Lab website : Chaumeil Lab\, UCSF \n\n\n\nOur lab works on developing and biologically validating magnetic resonance (MR)-based metabolic imaging approaches using animal models of neurological diseases (such as genetically-engineered or toxin-induced). In this talk\, I will present how optimized acquisitions strategies\, based mostly on the hyperpolarized DNP-MR technology\, can be used for improved diagnosis and treatment monitoring of neurological diseases\, including multiple sclerosis\, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Alzheimer’s disease. I will also show how we use metabolomics approaches to identify potential pathways modified in disease\, and normalized with treatment\, with an example focusing on interneuron transplantation as a treatment for epilepsy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Chaumeil is an Associate Professor in Residence in the department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science and Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at UCSF\, a faculty member of three graduate programs (UCSF/UC Berkeley BioEngineering; UCSF Biomedical Science and UCSF Rehabilitation Science)\, and an investigator in the Quantitative Biosciences Institute. Her research focuses on developing new neuroimaging methods to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders\, such as Alzheimer’s disease\, Multiple Sclerosis or vascular dementia. She is a Junior Fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine\, and has been recently elected on the board of the ISMRM Hyperpolarized Study group. Dr. Chaumeil grew up in the south of France\, and received her engineer degree and her PhD degree in Paris\, before moving across the world to California to join UCSF. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSala Baobab\, Tower I\, 11 Floor\, IBEC

SUMMARY:IBEC-IRB joint seminar
DESCRIPTION:Aberrant phase separation is a widespread killing mechanism of bioactive peptides in health and diseas\n\n\n\nSteven Boeynaems\, Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and Investigator at the Texas Children’s Hospital \n\n\n\nCationic repeat peptides are increasingly implicated in the pathophysiology of age-related neurodegenerative disease. These peptides are highly toxic in all tested disease models\, and seem to perturb an ever-expanding list of cellular pathways. This observation begs the question whether this target promiscuity is (1) relevant to disease and (2) how it is encoded in such simple sequences. A first clue came from the observation that these cationic repeat peptides have the tendency to drive protein condensation. Given their charge\, these peptides are exquisitely sensitive to the presence of nucleic acids. By studying their target space as a function of RNA concentration using mass spec\, we uncover a hidden hierarchy in their target preference that relates to subcellular differences in RNA abundance.  \n\n\n\nTo test whether these insights from disease translate to biology\, we used this framework to develop a machine learning algorithm that allowed us to predict protein behavior form sequence. Compellingly\, we uncover that bioactive peptides such as antimicrobial peptides produced by our own cells\, but also venom peptides derived from spiders\, scorpions and rattle snakes\, phenocopy the molecular behavior of these disease-related cationic peptides. In all\, we find that such peptides exert toxicity by upsetting the electrostatic balance of a cell\, hitting myriad pathways at once. We name this process polycation poisoning and find that it has independently evolved again and again across the entire tree of life as a killing strategy of bioactive peptides. Based on these findings we are now exploring toxin-antitoxin systems as innovative therapeutic strategies to protect neurons against cationic repeat peptide toxicity. \n\n\n\nHosts: Benedetta Bolognesi and Xavier Salvatella \n\n\n\nPlace: Felix Serratosa Hall\, PCB

SUMMARY:Mechanobiology of cancer summer school 2022
DESCRIPTION:The MECHANO·CONTROL consortium\, led by several research institutions across Europe\, is launching the second edition of the “Mechanobiology of Cancer” summer school\, which will take place between  September 27th –  October 1st at the Eco Resort in La Cerdanya. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe summer school aims to provide training on mechanobiology\, and specifically its application to cancer.This school will include lectures as well as practical workshops in different techniques and disciplines\, ranging from modeling to biomechanics to cancer biology. \nThere will be scientific sessions in the morning\, mixing 6 keynote speakers with short talks selected from abstract submissions by junior scientists attending the school and a poster session. In the afternoon\, there will be 2-3-hour practical workshops\, given by scientists from the MECHANO·CONTROL consortium. The course will also include leisure activities. \nThe 6 confirmed speakers who will attend the summer school are: \n\nDagmar Iber (ETH Zurich)\nHans Van Oosterwyck (KU Leuven)\nClaudia Fischbach (Director of Cornell’s Physical Sciences Oncology)\nGiorgio Scita (IFOM – The Firc Institute Of Molecular Oncology)\nMadeleine J. Oudin (Tufts University)\nMaria Celeste Aragona (University of Copenhagen)\n\nAttendance to the Summer School is open to all students\, post-docs\, and professionals interested\, although priority will be given to junior scientists (up to the post-doctoral stage). \n\nApplication deadline:9th May 2022 \nAcceptance and registration:17th June 2022

SUMMARY:PhD Complementary Skills Session: M.ª Ángeles García Asensio.
DESCRIPTION:Tips for a good scientific Communication\nM.ª Ángeles García Asensio\, Comunicació Audiovisual – Facultat d’Informació i Mitjans Audiovisuals (UB) \nGiving presentations is an important part of sharing your work and achieving recognition in the scientific communities. This workshop covers essential skills to convey your ideas and to communicate powerfully and effectively. We will learn how to engage audiencies facing two major facets to a presentation: the content and how you present it. With our tips for good scientific communication\, you will avoid the pitfalls that put audiences to sleep. \n\nMª Ángeles García Asensio holds a PhD in Linguistics (Spanish) from the University of Barcelona (Spain). She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish Philology at the University of Barcelona and in the School of Media Studies. Her work is focused on Spanish for Specific Purposes (Professional Discourse)\, aiming to propose strategies to improve the effectiveness of written and digital texts and to design professional writing techniques for multimodal discourses. \nShe also combines the university tasks with knowledge transfer through the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation and StartUB\, the unit that coordinates\, promotes and develops entrepreneurship among the community of the University of Barcelona\, offering courses in persuasive oral communication techniques. \nAs a communication coach\, she collaborates with companies and associations. \n  \nSala Baobab\, Tower I\, 11 Floor\, IBEC
