Title: Connectivity as a tool to investigate hydro-geomorphic systems: A river delta case study. Abstract: Connectivity plays a crucial role in natural and engineered systems, driving and resulting from various processes. For example, sediment fluxes shape the landscape, creating preferential paths for water and sediment transport, ultimately leading to channelized flows that affect the system's response to changing forcings. Research in geomorphic systems has focused on understanding the emergent connectivity structures and their impact on system dynamics. To this end,…

BIFI TALK: INMACULADA PÉREZ DORADO, Instituto de Química-Física Blas Cabrera (CSIC)   Title: Host-pathogen interactions in pathogenic mycobacteria. Underlying molecular mechanisms and new ways for antimicrobial development. Abstract: The Mycobacterium genus contains over 150 recognized species, many of which produce infectious diseases in human such as tuberculosis or leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Mycobacterium leprae, respectively. Human tuberculosis is one of the world’s most devastating human ID responsible of ~1.5 million deaths every year; while leprosy is an IDs…

Re-imagining the glutamatergic synapse: From structure-function to neurological disease Professor Derek Bowie. Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Abstract: The Bowie Lab uses a combination of techniques to study ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), GABA-A receptors and more recently, sodium and potassium channels. All ion-channel families are widespread in the vertebrate brain and fulfill many important roles in healthy individuals as well as being implicated in disease states associated with postnatal development (e.g. autism, schizophrenia), cerebral insult (e.g.…

BIFI TALK: SALVATORE ADINOLFI. Department of Drug Science and Technology, University of Turin, Italy Title: The contradictory role of frataxin in Fe-S cluster biogenesis Abstract:  Frataxin is a small mitochondrial protein whose limited expression impairs Fe-S cluster biogenesis and promotes iron accumulation, leading to the neurodegenerative Friedreich's ataxia. Although frataxin role is yet to be completely unraveled, its involvement as a regulator of the desulfurase activity in the Fe-S cluster biogenesis machinery has been demonstrated for both human frataxin and its…
