| 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... |

| Tue 3 Dec 2024 12:00 - 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 29 Nov 2024 11:00 - 12:00 |  Seminar: Queen Mary Robotics Seminar Series - Prof Robert Katzschmann, ETH ZürichCentre for Intelligent Transport Title: Creating Life-like Robots: From Musculoskeletal Designs to Biohybrid Innovations Abstract: Living robots represent a new frontier in engineering materials for robotic systems, incorporating biological living cells and synthetic materials into their design. These bio-hybrid robots are dynamic and intelligent, potentially harnessing living matter's capabilities, such as growth, regeneration, morphing, biodegradation, and environmental adaptation. Such attributes position bio-hybrid... |
| Wed 6 Nov 2024 15:00 - 16:00 |  SEMS seminars: Dr Roberto Santoprete, Project Leader & Research Associate at L'OréalCentre for Bioengineering Title Facial aging: from clinical perception to biomechanical characterization Abstract The perception of facial aging is a complex, multisensory phenomenon whose criteria may vary according to ethnicity and geographical area. Nevertheless, there are recurring clinical signs such as the increase of visibility of wrinkles or sagging. The mechanics of the various skin layers and underlying tissues play a decisive role in understanding these clinical phenomena. However, few studies to... |
| Wed 6 Nov 2024 15:00 - 16:00 |  SEMS seminars: Dr Thomas Bornschlögl, Head of imaging platform, advanced research, L'OréalCentre for Bioengineering Title The imaging platform of Advanced Research at L'Oréal: Recent imaging developments and insights in skin and hair biology. Abstract The imaging platform uses different microscopy approaches to better understand the impact of cosmetic treatments on the structure and biology of human hair and skin. The skin is among our largest organs and defines the barrier that separates our body from the external world. This barrier function is in many cases essential for our health, for example... |
