Seminar – Biomaterials: From blood compatibility to stem cell expansion
Speaker Daniel Heath, Senior Lecturer, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Melbourne Abstract Biomaterials are critical toward the development of successful biomedical devices, tissue engineering scaffolds, and organ on a chip models. In this talk, we will discuss the design, fabrication, and utilization of biomaterials for two specific applications: blood contacting biomedical devices and substrates for …
Seminar – Single molecule imaging of T cell receptor signalling
Speaker Katharina Gaus, UNSW Abstract Single-moleculelocalisation microscopy(SMLM) can provide a truly molecular image of complex biological processes. We aimed to better understand how the T cellreceptor (TCR)translates antigen binding into intracellular signals on which T cell fate decisions are based.With SMLM and novel analyses, we determined how the spatial organisation regulates signal initiation and propagation …
