Biological Making Workshop 2024

The Francis Crick Institute is a biomedical discovery institute dedicated to understanding the scientific mechanisms of living things. Its work is helping to understand why disease develops and to find new ways to treat, diagnose and prevent illness such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections and neurodegenerative diseases.By bringing together scientists from many disciplines, the Crick will have the scale, vision and expertise to tackle the most challenging scientific questions underpinning health and disease.The Francis Crick Institute was founded by six of the UK's most successful scientific and academic organisations - theMedical Research CouncilCancer Research UKWellcome TrustUCLImperial College LondonKing's College London

The Making Lab is organising the 8th Biological Making Workshop on 22nd October 2024.

This workshop will bring together people, ideas and activities surrounding biological making, from both the Crick, its partner universities, and the wider research community.We will focus on technological development of tools, protocols, and experimental setups for biomedical research and discuss future developments. This includes but is not limited to microfluidics, biomaterial and bioprinting for in-vitro modelling on the one hand, and system engineering, electronics, programming for entire set up on the other hand, applied in various fields from cell development, mechanobiology, cancer research to neuroscience. This year it will be a hybrid event, followed by an in-person networking event for participants on-site.This year it will be a hybrid event, followed by an in-person networking event for participants on-site.Keynote: David Beebe, Professor at the University of Wisconsin and Chief Scientific Officer at Flambeau diagnostics“Engineered small scale systems: from cell biology to clinical trials on a chip”David runs the Microtechnology, Medicine and Biology Lab which is focused on the novel and simple use of microscale physics and phenomena to create tools and methods to further biological and medical goals. Ranging from basic science to research tools to diagnostics, they have a particular interested in the fields of cancer, inflammation and multi kingdom interactions. The MMB lab is multidisciplinary and collaborative, working across disciplines and disease boundaries to create solutions that can be translated into widespread use.David is also Chief Scientific Officer of Flambeau Diagnostics, where new micro-engineering technologies enable diagnostic systems with breakthrough functionality and simplicity13:00 Arrival and registration13:30 Introduction by Albane Imbert from The Francis Crick Institute13:35 “Bioengineering blood vessels for clinical and in vitro testing” by Deepak Kalaskar from University College London13:55 “Cellular microenvironments with fluid walls for single-cell cloning and assay” by Joe Morgan from University of Oxford14:15 “Investigating subcellular mitochondrial heterogeneity in neurons with microfluidic devices for multi-omics analysis” by Eleonora Centanini from The Francis Crick Institute14:35 “A collaboration between the Crick and Central Saint Martins Ma BioDesign” by Albane Imbert from The Francis Crick Institute, and Alice Taylor and Christopher Bellamy from Central Saint Martins14:50 Refreshment Break and poster session15:20 “Visually-guided prey capture in mice: from sensory input to motor execution” by Marcelo Moglie from The Francis Crick Institute15:40 “Making a new user-friendly affordable pipeline for correlative light and electron microscopy” by Lucy Collinson from The Francis Crick Institute16:00 “Using Adaptive Optics for high-resolution live imaging of the immune response in the retina” by Bruno Charbit from UCL Institute of Ophthalmology16:20 Keynote: “Engineered small scale systems: from cell biology to clinical trials on a chip” by David Beebe from University of Wisconsin17:00 Drinks reception and poster session For further information, please contact <a href="mailto:albane.imbert@crick.ac.uk" title="mailto:albane.imbert@crick.ac.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">albane.imbert@crick.ac.uk</a>, <a href="mailto:christina.dix@crick.ac.uk" title="mailto:christina.dix@crick.ac.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">christina.dix@crick.ac.uk</a> or <a href="mailto:Federico.nebuloni@crick.ac.uk" title="mailto:Federico.nebuloni@crick.ac.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Federico.nebuloni@crick.ac.uk</a> .
