Proper development and growth of all organisms requires biological decisions that are precisely defined spatially and temporally. In many cases, these processes arise from the breaking of some symmetry, creating new structures essential for continued development. Throughout oogenesis and spermatogenesis, many symmetry breaking events must occur to ensure proper formation and patterning of the... Read more
Generally speaking, immunology, epidemiology, evolution, and biophysical processes related to pathogen transmission interact in the context of disease control. Particularly for emerging pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, minimal data availability combined with modeling / dynamical uncertainties can make correctly accounting for these factors in population-level disease models challenging. In this talk, we will present a minimal... Read more
In the last decade, there has been an increased interest in proposing, investigating, manufacturing - and therefore in regulating - novel medical approaches and technologies complementary or even competitive to the traditional pharmacological and surgical ones that are aimed at recovering lost body functionalities (e.g., limb movement) or at relieving medical conditions derived from compromised...
