De novo protein design for depolymerizing plastics using AI-based method

PETER FOJAN (Associate Professor)

In this talk, Peter will guide you through how to integrate computational approaches to uncover the best enzyme for plastic degradation.

Printing spare parts for the human body: science or science fiction?

Pablo Pennisi (Associate Professor)

What if damaged human tissues could be printed on demand? Bioprinting applies 3D printing principles to build biological structures that aim to heal the body. But how close are we to printing replacement organs? Where does reality end and hype begin? In this talk, I will present bioprinting in plain language, separate fact from fiction, and introduce our work on STRONG-UR, a bioprinted implant designed to help reconstruct the male urethra.
