SUMMARY:Targeting the architecture of the cancer cell: From basic cell biology to first-in-class therapeutics
DESCRIPTION:I am pleased to inform you on the seminar by Prof. Peter Gunning from University of New South Wales\, Australia\, titled “Targeting the architecture of the cancer cell: From basic cell biology to first-in-class therapeutics”. \nDate: 05 Sept 2016\, Mon\nTime: 10:00am\nVenue: Level 5 seminar room\, T-Lab\nHost: Prof Alexander Bershadsky \nProf Gunning’s Biodata\nProfessor Gunning completed his PhD at Monash University on gene expression in the nervous system and then spent 9 years at Stanford University working first on neuronal differentiation and then on the regulation of muscle gene expression. The latter project involved the cloning of the human contractile proteins which facilitated our cloning of the genes encoding the structural proteins of the skeleton of human cells. \nSince returning to Australia his research group has used these genes to study the assembly of the architecture of cells and tissues. They have discovered that a family of proteins called tropomyosins are used to specify the spatial and temporal properties of the cell skeleton. This has provided an entirely new model to account for the range of architectural structures found in cells and allows them to dissect these different structures using genetically modified mice and cells. Mouse models have allowed them to link specific types of structures with specific physiological processes such as cell/tissue growth\, glucose metabolism\, muscle contraction and neuronal morphogenesis. These models have also revealed the role of cell architecture in diseases as diverse as cancer and obesity. This knowledge has been used to develop new drugs with the potential to treat childhood cancer and other malignancies. \nProfessor Gunning has published over 140 research papers and recently edited the book “Tropomyosin”. He is on the Board of the NSW Cancer Institute and served as the Chair of the NSW Cancer Institute Cancer Research Advisory Committee for 6 years. Professor Gunning was the inaugural Chair of the Division of Research at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead\, Sydney\, and the Founding Chair of Bio-Link Pty Ltd. \nProf Gunning’s research\nHis research is focussed on diseases of childhood\, primarily cancer and muscle damage. Peter is best known for his discovery of one of the key principles underlying the architecture of all cells and its application to childhood cancer. He is also engaged in adult stem cell research to both limit the impact of chemotherapy on children with brain tumours and to enhance the rebuilding of diseased muscles using muscle stem cells. \nAll are welcome.

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
