 Today12:00 - 12:30 |  SEMS PDRA-PhD seminars: Elis Newham and Holly Bachas Brook
Centre for Bioengineering Title: TomoSAXS: combining small-angle scatter and X-ray tomography for hierarchical biomechanics of collagenous tissues Talk Summary of Dr Elis Newham: Collagenous tissues, key constituents in the overwhelming majority of vertebrate biomechanical systems, consist of a range of structures and assemblies that operate hierarchically over spatio-structural scales. This creates a complex interplay between nanoscale and microscale biomechanics that is vital for understanding the function of... |
| Fri 6 Dec 2024 14:00 - 20:30 |  60 Years of Robotics at Queen Mary
Centre for Advanced Robotics Queen Mary University of London's School of Engineering and Materials Science is this year celebrating 60 years of Robotics. On Friday 6 December 2024 we will celebrate this milestone with an event showcasing research highlights and welcoming special guests. The evening will include speeches and demonstrations from academics and special guests, followed by a drinks reception. More details to follow. Explore the history and memories on the 60 Years of Robotics Microsite. |
| Tue 10 Dec 2024 12:15 - 12:45 |  SEMS seminar: Dr Josephine Wu, Trinity College DublinCentre for Bioengineering Title: Engineering Spatiotemporal Cues for Directed Formation of Musculoskeletal Tissues Abstract: Joint disease is detrimental to basic quality of life and effective treatments are lacking. Tissue engineering has the potential to offer more biologically faithful tissues derived with minimal invasiveness, but the resulting tissues currently lack the full composition, organization, and function of native tissue. In normal joint development, finely coordinated spatiotemporal gradients of... |

| Wed 19 Feb 2025 15:00 - 16:00 |  SEMS seminars: Prof Guillaume Charras, UCL Centre for Bioengineering About the speaker After an undergraduate degree in Physics and Engineering in Paris, Prof Charras became fascinated by Cell Biology and turned my research interests to Biophysics. Prof Charras was fortunate to be exposed to many facets of Bioengineering and Biophysics through Masters degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and through PhD work at UCL. During this time, Prof. Charras worked in the general area of cell mechanics using experimental techniques such as AFM and... |

| Wed 2 Apr 2025 15:00 - 16:00 |  Queen Mary Bioengineering Seminar Series - Dr Alberto Elosegui-Artola, The Francis Crick InstituteCentre for Bioengineering Title The ECM viscoelasticity controls tissue spatiotemporal dynamics Abstract The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate cellular processes during development, cancer and wound healing. Despite the universality of the ECM's viscoelasticity, how viscoelasticity affects tissue function is unknown. I will present our results where we show that the passive viscoelastic properties of the ECM regulate tissue architecture and patterning both during development and... |
| Wed 16 Apr 2025 15:00 - 16:00 |  SEMS seminars: Google DeepMind Chair of Machine Learning and AI, Professor Marc Deisenroth, UCLCentre for Bioengineering Title: Opportunities for Machine Learning to Accelerate Progress in Environmental Modelling Abstract: Modelling complex environmental systems, such as weather or oceans, is extremely challenging. Recent advances in machine learning and AI to automatically learn complex relationships from data have opened up opportunities for data-driven methodologies to make a meaningful contribution to environmental science and even play the role of a transformative technology within environmental... |
