Internal seminar series and invited speaker events open to the CTB community and partner institutions.
The CTB holds regular scientific sessions featuring internal lab presentations and invited talks by external researchers. Sessions are held at the CTB seminar room, Campus Montegancedo, and are open to researchers from partner institutions. To be added to the mailing list contact dirección.ctb@ctb.upm.es.
Dario Salvi, PhD, Associate Professor at Malmö University · ICT for Personalized Medicine
Ubiquitous smartphones and wearable devices offer an excellent opportunity for health research, including distributed recruitment, data collection and interventions. Presentation of Mobistudy, a mobile-based platform for health research.
Dra. Nahla Jemni, Laboratorio de Biomateriales del CTB · Cajal Cortical Circuits
Presentación del Premio de la Cátedra Cajal, otorgado a la investigadora del laboratorio de Biomateriales del CTB. Evento con presencia del Presidente del comité científico de la Cátedra Cajal de la Universidad de Zaragoza.
Dr. Antonio Quílez-Álvarez, Head of Applications at A4Cell · Bioinstrumentation and Nanomedicine
SPAchip® devices (Suspended-Planar Arrays) based on inert silicon oxide, on which multiple fluorescent probes can be deposited to provide intracellular readouts over long culture periods for living single-cell analysis.
Dr. Harald Schmidt · ICT for Personalized Medicine
We do not understand the causality of almost any human disease and thus declare them as chronic and complex. Instead of treating causes we must treat symptoms, which is highly ineffective. New paradigm for network medicine.
Dr. Javier Ramón Azcón, IBEC Barcelona · Biomaterials and Regenerative Engineering
Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) devices for type 2 diabetes disease modeling and drug discovery, providing biologically relevant models of tissues and organs that mimic the in vivo micro-environment.
