SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “From neuronal polarization to function: unveiling the transport and function of neuronal surface receptors”
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for the ICVS Advanced Seminar Series \nICVS Advanced Seminars\, a weekly series aimed at fostering discussion on cutting-edge research\, take place every Thursday at EM. \n“From neuronal polarization to function: unveiling the transport and function of neuronal surface receptors” \nLuís Ribeiro\, MIA\, University of Coimbra \nLuís’s research is focused on uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating the distribution and function of neuronal surface receptors in health\, ageing\, and disease. His PhD at the University of Coimbra explored ghrelin receptor function in the hippocampus\, with findings published in PNAS and Science Signaling. During his postdoc at VIB-KU Leuven\, he used advanced imaging\, biochemical\, and proteomic methods to study synaptic protein regulation\, with work published in Neuron and PLOS Biology. In 2021\, he became an independent investigator at CNC-UC\, supported by FCT and MSCA fellowships. He now leads a lab at MIA-Portugal\, recently funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative\, expanding research into brain disorders and ageing.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminars “Automating analysis and training in focused cardiac ultrasound”
DESCRIPTION:Sandro Queirós (SQ) graduated in Biomedical Engineering in 2013 by the University of Minho (Portugal). In 2018\, he completed a joint Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering by the University of Minho (Portugal) and in Biomedical Sciences by KU Leuven (Belgium). Since 2018\, SQ is a full-time researcher at ICVS\, having been granted an FCT-funded junior research position in 2020.\nThroughout his research career\, Sandro has been mainly interested in the development of novel medical imaging processing solutions to help clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Specifically\, his work has been focused primarily on cardiovascular diseases – the leading cause of death in the world. He has been the leading developer of novel image processing methodologies for cardiac function quantification\, as well as novel technological solutions for preoperative planning\, intraoperative guidance\, and postoperative evaluation of transcatheter heart interventions. More recently\, his work aims at developing novel artificial intelligent solutions for automatic medical training and diagnosis in echocardiography.\nOverall\, SQ (co-)authored 40 peer-reviewed articles\, 39 full proceedings\, and 29 conference abstracts\, totaling an accumulated IF of 184\, >1300 citations and an h-index of 21. His research outputs have also led to 2 international and 1 Portuguese invention patents\, 2 provisional patents and the commercial licensing of an image tracking software. SQ has also (co-)supervised the thesis of 4 Ph.D. (ongoing)\, 10 M.Sc. (3 ongoing) and 6 B.Sc. students.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Development of neurovascular networks: from tip cells to coupling"
DESCRIPTION:November 6th at 1 pm\, don’t miss Vanessa Coelho-Santos‘s “Development of neurovascular networks: from tip cells to coupling” at the A0.02 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nVanessa Coelho-Santos is an Invited Auxiliary Researcher at the University of Coimbra\, where her group investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving neurogliovascular communication throughout brain development and maturation. Her research combines advanced imaging technologies\, ranging from pre-clinical models to high-resolution approaches such as in vivo multiphoton microscopy\, with genetic and molecular tools to unravel how vascular\, glial\, and neuronal interactions shape brain function under physiological and pathological conditions. She has been recognized with several prestigious awards and competitive grants\, including Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships\, the “la Caixa” Junior Leader Fellowship\, support from the American Heart Association\, and\, most recently\, a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Magnetic nanocomposites for immunotheranostic applications"
DESCRIPTION:November 13th at 1 pm\, don’t miss Juan Gallo‘s “Magnetic nanocomposites for immunotheranostic applications” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nDr Gallo works on the application of nanotechnology into the biomedical field\, both for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. We currently divide our efforts into two different but complementary areas:\nOn the one hand\, we carry out fundamental research in the area of Magnetic Imaging (MRI\, MPI)\, Magnetic Actuation (Magnetic Hyperthermia\, Magneto-mechanical actuation)\, and controlled drug delivery\, starting from the Chemistry and going all the way to the in vitro/in vivo validation.\nOn the other\, we focus on applied problems in the biomedical field\, trying to develop integrated theranostic (therapy plus diagnostic) solutions in fields such as oncology\, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases\, with special focus on immunomodulation strategies.
