SUMMARY:MSE-MCN Distinguished Seminar – Body-Interfaced Biosensors - Professor Wei Gao
DESCRIPTION:The rise of personalized medicine is reshaping traditional healthcare\, enabling predictive analytics and tailored treatment strategies. In this talk\, I will discuss our progress in developing wearable\, implantable\, and ingestible electrochemical biosensors for real-time molecular analysis. These bioelectronic systems autonomously access and sample diverse body fluids—including sweat\, interstitial fluid\, gastrointestinal fluid\, wound exudate\, and exhaled breath condensate—enabling continuous monitoring of key biomarkers such as metabolites\, nutrients\, hormones\, proteins\, and drugs during various activities. To facilitate scalable\, cost-effective manufacturing of these high-performance\, nanomaterial-based sensors\, we employ laser engraving\, inkjet printing\, and 3D printing techniques. The clinical utility of our biosensors is being evaluated in human and animal studies\, focusing on applications such as stress and mental health assessment\, precision nutrition\, chronic disease management\, and personalized drug monitoring. \nAdditionally\, I will highlight our efforts in energy harvesting from both the body and the environment\, opening the door to battery-free\, wireless biosensing technologies. By integrating electrochemical biosensing with advanced bioelectronics\, we aim to revolutionize personalized healthcare\, offering new possibilities for diagnostics\, continuous monitoring\, and therapeutic interventions. \nThis is an in-person-only seminar\,  jointly organised by Monash School of Engineering and Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication \n10:00am\, 06/11/2025\nG29/G30\, Ground Floor\, New Horizons – 20 Research Way\, Clayton

SUMMARY:Labs Who Care: Towards Sustainable Laboratories Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This free\, hybrid event is proudly organised by the ANFF Sustainability Expert Working Group.  As you may remember\, last year we launched Labs Who Care\, a movement and community focused on integrating sustainability into all aspects of lab life.  This year\, we’re building on that momentum with new collaborations\, including with Australasian Campuses Towards Sustainability (ACTS)\, who have recently launched a Lab Sustainability Group.

SUMMARY:MSE-MCN Distinguished Seminar – 3D biofabricated cellular disease models to study brain tumors - Prof. Carmen Villmann
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThree dimensional (3D) neuronal cell culture models are complex in vitro systems that enable earlier neurite outgrowth and functional network formation compared with 2 D neuronal cultures These 3 D models provide an advanced platform for molecular and cellular analyses of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases relative to healthy conditions Native brain tissue exhibits a low elastic modulus ranging from 30 to 500 Pa depending on brain region and developmental stage\, and we and others have shown that neuronal network formation is highest in ultrasoft hydrogels. \nHere\, thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA SH) was crosslinked with two PEG linkers Hyaluronic acid\, a major component of the brain extracellular matrix\, was reinforced with triangular pore frames composed of poly(ɛ caprolactone)caprolactone)( fibres fabricated by melt electro–writing (Laminin\, fibronectin\, and collagen IV were added for ECM supplementation The 3D brain disease model comprises neurons\, astrocytes\, and glioma cells Astrocytes support neuronal growth and maturation by secreting growth factors into the extracellular matrix Neuron tumor cell interactions involving glioblastoma U 87 and breast tumor cells MDA MB 231 and MDA MB 361 were confirmed by expression of glutamate receptors (GluA 2 and vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (vGLUT 1 Electron microscopy indicated that these interactions closely resemble functional synapses\, while astrocyte glioma interactions were positive for connexin 43. \nCell–cell communication is essential for functional network formation Calcium imaging revealed significantly increased and synchronized neuronal activity when neurons\nwere cultured in the presence of tumor cells Thus\, the 3D MEW frame HA SH composite containing neurons\, astrocytes\, and tumor cells represents a ready to use model to study brain tumor resistance to therapies through combined drug application. \nBio:\nSince 2012 Carmen Villmann is a full Professor of Molecular Neurobiology at the University Hospital Würzburg\, Germany She is a biologist by training and studied at\nUniversities in Berlin\, Hannover\, both Germany and Boston\, US During her PhD and Postdoc career\, she submerged into neurobiology working on balances in neurotransmission between excitation and inhibition and their disturbances associated with various kinds of neurological disorders Recently\, she also started to use 3D cellular models to better simulate diseases of the brain such as tumors which represent a suitable tool to better translate molecular findings towards clinical applications \nVENUE: G29/30\, New Horizons Building\, 20 Research Way \nor\, Zoom\nID: 89035404584\nPasscode: 592569
