SUMMARY:IBEC-MBI Joint Symposia
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome you to the Joint IBEC/MBI Symposium\, an initiative of the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) to foster collaboration between the two institutions. \nThe symposium’s objectives are: \n\nTo disseminate and increase mutual awareness about current scientific work in general and the research conducted by leading researchers from both IBEC and MBI\nTo create scientific discussion and generate new and innovative ideas that may lead to high impact innovations for society in the future\nTo identify high-impact\, frontier research topics that may be submitted as proposals\n\nFind out more about the conference\, including program and speakers at www.ibecbarcelona.eu/events/IBEC-MBI-jointsymposia \nAbout IBEC\nThe Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia  is an interdisciplinary research centre\, based in Barcelona (Spain)\, that conducts excellent interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of engineering and life sciences by putting together fields like nanomedicine\, biophysics\, biotechnology\, tissue engineering and the applications of health information technology. \nIBEC\, currently has 18 research groups with +250 researchers from 23 different countries.  The knowledge that exists in the IBEC research groups is structured in three broad avenues of knowledge: nanomedicine\, cellular and tissue engineering and ICT for health. These are placed at the service of science and society to progress in three major application areas\, namely Future Medicine\, Regenerative therapies and Active ageing. \nIBEC excellence was recognized by the Spanish Government by its award as Severo Ochoa Research Centre\, which labels IBEC as one of Spain top research centres. Find out more about IBEC. \nAbout MBI\nInstituted in 2009\, the Mechanobiology Institute was created through joint funding by the National Research Foundation and the Ministry of Education with the goal of creating a new research centre in mechanobiology to benefit both the discipline and Singapore. \nMBI’s primary focus is to identify\, measure and describe how the forces for motility and morphogenesis are expressed at the molecular\, cellular and tissue level. Toward that goal\, MBI is working to create a common international standard for defining these steps by developing powerful new computational models\, experimental reagents\, and tools for studying diseases of cells and tissues. \nMechanobiology is an emerging discipline\, one that demands dedication and researchers with both a broad vision and the drive to succeed. MBI is creating a new and powerful community of motivated scientists committed to the advancement of the discipline and the future of mechanobiology. Find out more about MBI.

SUMMARY:Biophysical Society-MBI Thematic Meeting: Mechanobiology of Disease
DESCRIPTION:The Mechanobiology Institute\, Singapore (MBI) and the Biophysical Society\, USA (BPS) are holding the MBI-BPS “Mechanobiology of Disease” Thematic Meeting at the University Cultural Centre\, NUS\, from September 27-30\, 2016. \n \nThe Mechanobiology of Disease thematic meeting aims to bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers and technology partners that are investigating and exploiting mechanical properties of cells that are associated with disease or dysfunction. The meeting will bring together world leaders in these topics to identify scientific areas of impact in understanding and treating disease\, as well as inspire the development of drug screening tools\, diagnostics and therapeutics that target or exploit the mechanobiology of cells. Such a unique biophysical perspective has the potential to bring solutions for a range of disease states. \n\nEarly Registration closes on July 5\, 2016.\nThe deadline for Abstract Submission is July 11\, 2016.\n\nSubmitted abstracts will be selected to be presented as either short talks or posters. \nMore information
