The main environmental problems are not the loss of biodiversity, the collapse of ecosystems and climate change, but greed, selfishness, and apathy. These problems call for a spiritual and cultural transformation, which does not only depend on scientists. Better understanding of the complex feedback process between one's identity and global environmental change is urgently needed. This presentation explores a journey from ecology to sustainability, and from political economy to psychology and spirituality.

The seminar will be online format.

Thamil Selvee Ramasamy directs the Stem Cell Biology Lab of the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Her research group focuses on regenerative medicine, stem cell technology and cancer stem cell research.

Dr Ramasamy has been actively involved in stem cell research for over a decade, and recently began research into cancer stem cells. Her research group focuses on producing innovative and creative, cutting-edge research in the development of efficient treatments using stem cells. Dr Ramasamy will be participating in the seminars organised by the UAB Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB) thanks to an Erasmus + grant.

Wednesday:

Intensive and selective harvesting for size is an evolutionary driver of life history as well as individual behavioural traits. However, it is largely unknown whether and to what extent harvesting modifies the collective behaviour and circadian rhythm of exploited species. Valerio Sbragaglia is a behavioural ecologist with a keen interest in fisheries, and presents a multi-generational experiment focused on providing answers to these questions.

The seminar will be online.

Wednesday:

Micro and nano robotics has made incredible strides since becoming a research topic just over two decades ago. Much of the progress has been in material selection and fabrication, and paths forward in developing clinically relevant biocompatible and biodegradable micro and nano robots are becoming clear.

Using biocompatible magnetic composites with externally generated magnetic fields and field gradients is perhaps closest to clinical application. One of the most challenging aspects of the field is in the development of the magnetic navigation system (MNS) that generates the fields and gradients needed for microrobot locomotion. In this talk, Prof. Dr. Bradley Nelson from EHT Zurich will present an overview of MNSs and show how these systems are fundamentally robotic in the way they must be designed and controlled.

The webinar will be held in person and online.
