IBEC Seminar

Nanotherapeutics – ‘How we sometimes underestimate the influence of little things’ Iris L. Batalha, Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) Deaths caused by infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria are expected to skyrocket over the next decades, with a staggering 10 million deaths per year projected for 2050. Treating infections by intracellular pathogens, such as M. tuberculosis, ... Read more

Differential migration mechanics and immune response of glioblastoma subtypes David Odde, Dept. of Biomedical Eng., U. Minnesota Glioblastoma remains a deadly cancer driven by invasion of tumor cells into the brain. Transcriptomic analyses have revealed distinct molecular subtypes, but mechanistic and targetable differences that explain clinical differences are not clear. Using a state-of-the-art immunocompetent mouse ... Read more

Peptides and bioinstructive polymers on surfaces for prevention of oral infections Conrado Aparicio, Faculty of Odontology, UIC Barcelona and Associated Researcher – IBEC Oral infections are the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. We have explored bioinspired modification of surfaces of restorative/regenerative materials and implants as well as dental tissues to address oral infections by harnessing ... Read more

Multicellular coordination in context Takashi Hiiragi, Hubrecht Institute, The Netherlands A defining feature of living systems is the capacity to break symmetry and generate well-defined forms and patterns through self-organisation. Our group aims to understand the design principle of multicellular living systems using early mouse embryos as a model system. We developed an experimental framework ... Read more
