Biodynamics - A Transdisciplinary Approach

1B Intrarea Portocalelor, Bucharest, Romania

“The tale of cellular dynamics, from observation to application via knowledge”


Aim: Strengthening an excellence & collaborative pole on Biodynamics and related areas to accelerate innovation in high resolution multivariate assessment of cellular dynamics, and address unmet biomedical needs by launching the transdisciplinary Task Force on life threatening microbial pathogens.

How: An open format, combining lectures with access to laboratory test platforms and round table discussions for feeding future trans-disciplinary collaborations.

Who: Top-level scientists active in biodynamics related fields, from Physics to (cell, molecular)Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, (bio)Engineering, Bioinformatics and last but not the least, to Artificial Intelligence & Mathematics.

Topics:

I. Real time, nanoscale microscopy for analyzing the dynamics of living cell structures

- Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy - Plenary lecture of Prof. Stefan Hell, Nobel Laureate

- Quantitative Phase Microscopy approaches for High resolution label-free living cells analysis

- Electrical impedance images at nanoscale based on optical (microscopy) methods

II. Bringing cells into focus

- Methods to capture target cells, including pathogens from clinical samples using generic ligands and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles

- Microfluidics tools for cell assessment

III. Derive cellular (single cell) dynamics from high content imaging data towards digital twins of biosystems dynamics

- Multivariate data analysis and AI tools

-The parametric space of biosystem analysis: “How many is enough?” adding the electrical dimension to single cell images (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-020-00461-x)

IV. (Single) Cell Physiomics – a biomedical perspective on rapid detection of pathogenic agents & tumor cells, fast antimicrobial and antitumor drug sensitivity testing

Distinguished plenary talk

Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen & Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg
