SUMMARY:BE Seminar: From design to healing: Engineering stimuli-responsive function biomaterials for advanced therapeutics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Sayan Deb Dutta\nSenior postdoctoral research fellow\nBiorobotics Research Group\, Kangwon National University\, South Korea. \nDate: 7th October 2025\nTime: 10.00 AM\nVenue: GF – 22\, TCS Smart X Hub (TSH) Building \nTitle: From design to healing: Engineering stimuli-responsive function biomaterials for advanced therapeutics \nAbstract: Stimuli-responsive smart biomaterials are revolutionizing advanced therapeutics by actively sensing and responding to physiological or external cues\, such as pH\, temperature\, enzymes\, light\, or magnetic fields. Unlike traditional scaffolds\, these systems provide precise control over drug release\, immune regulation\, and tissue repair\, making them highly promising for chronic wound healing and regeneration. Advances in 3D printing/ bioprinting enable the fabrication of patient-specific\, hierarchical constructs with spatially organized therapeutic components. The integration of functional nanomaterials—including 1D materials\, 2D nanosheets (e.g.\, graphene\, gC3N4\, MXenes)\, and hybrid architectures—enhances responsiveness\, mechanical robustness\, and therapeutic delivery. Embedding flexible bioelectronics\, such as photonic nanocrystals and conductive nanofillers\, further enables real-time health sensing and feedback-controlled therapy\, merging regenerative medicine with digital health technologies. In parallel\, the incorporation of therapeutic molecules\, such as exosomes and small peptides\, promotes angiogenesis\, reduces oxidative stress\, and modulates the immune response\, thereby accelerating the healing process. Applications extend beyond medicine to cellular agriculture\, where bioprinted adaptive scaffolds support cultured tissues and sustainable protein production\, leading to eco-friendly meat cultivation. Moreover\, advanced bioimaging probes (e.g.\, carbon dots) enable non-invasive\, high-resolution monitoring of biomaterial–cell interactions\, tumor imaging\, and in situ tissue remodeling. Together\, these innovations establish next-generation stimuli-responsive multifunctional platforms\, paving the way for personalized\, durable\, and adaptive healthcare solutions. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Sayan Deb Dutta holds a Ph.D. degree in biosystems engineering with a major in biomaterials science and engineering. Currently\, he serves as a senior postdoctoral research fellow at the Biorobotics Research group\, Kangwon National University\, South Korea. He joined as a visiting research fellow at the School of Medicine\, University of California\, Davis. He completed his master’s degree at the University of Kalyani\, West Bengal\, India. Over the past six years\, he has been involved in the biomedical engineering field\, where he has developed multi-material bioinks\, primarily based on natural biopolymers\, proteins\, and carbohydrates\, for 3D printing/bioprinting\, immunomodulation\, and tissue engineering applications. His current research focuses on the development of naturally inspired flexible bioelectronics\, stimuli-responsive 3D scaffolds\, and the fabrication of bioactive nanomaterials (e.g.\, homogeneous and heterogeneous nanoparticles\, nano/bioglass\, and nanocrystals) with tunable physicochemical properties for elucidating the mechanisms of different cellular communications\, human healthcare sensing\, tissue healing\, and regeneration towards advanced therapeutics.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: Deleting the Genome: Quantitative Imaging Approaches to Design Nanomedicine Delivery Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Jeremy Simpson\nCollege Principal & Dean of Science\nUCD College of Science \nDate: 8th October 2025\nTime: 4.00 PM \nVenue: Classroom- 624(6th Floor)\, TCS Smart X Hub (TSH) Building \nTitle: Deleting the Genome: Quantitative Imaging Approaches to Design Nanomedicine Delivery Strategies \nAbstract: Quantitative biological imaging approaches can be used to study a wide range of phenomena in basic cell biology as well as applications in biotechnology and bioengineering. In this seminar\, I will describe our high-content imaging technology platform and how it provides insight into trafficking pathways in cells\, a number of specific human diseases\, as well as how nanoparticles\, as therapeutic carriers\, deliver their cargo into cells. I will also present some of our current work illustrating how we use high-content imaging to study 3D cell models\, which together provide us with the opportunity to interrogate cell function at the molecular level\, in turn making valuable contributions to our wider understanding of human disease and therapeutic options. \nAbout The Speaker: Prof. Simpson is an internationally renowned cell biologist with over two decades of experience in prestigious institutions across the UK\, USA\, and Germany. As Dean of Science at UCD\, he leads over 5\,300 students and 750 staff members. He also heads the UCD Cell Screening Laboratory\, conducting pioneering research in cellular dysfunction and nanoparticle-based targeted drug delivery. With more than 130 peer-reviewed publications and numerous global lectures\, Prof. Simpson brings unmatched academic depth and insight to this engagement.
