Abstract: The lecture will cover 1) The epidemiology of dementia with a focus on sex differences in the prevalence and incidence; 2) Potential factors contributing to these differences, and the evidence to date on sex and gender differences in various dementia risk and protective factors; 3) The sex ...

Abstract: Biological networks have proven invaluable ability for representing biological knowledge. Multilayer networks, which gather different types of nodes and edges in multiplex, heterogeneous and bipartite networks, provide a natural way to integrate diverse and multi-scale data sources into a ...

Abstract: La medicina actual está basada en el sesgo de una pretendida igualdad entre hombres y mujeres. Desde 1990 se difunden las diferencias de sexo y de género en Medicina. Más de 30 años más tarde, el análisis de las evidencias demuestra la persistencia de estos sesgos. Analizaremos las ...

Abstract: The spatial organization of biological structures profoundly influences their function, making histopathology a cornerstone in disease diagnosis. However, there exists a pressing need for advanced technologies surpassing current methods to identify specific biomarkers and inform clinical ...

Abstract: The talk will be approached as a use case analysis. A realistic practical scenario requiring data processing in biomedical research activities will be described and the necessary steps will be explained so that all stages of data processing comply with the corresponding legal obligations. The

Abstract: Machine learning methods have the potential to augment diagnostic capabilities in noninvasive screening techniques like ultrasound and microscopy, which often suffer from noise and lack specificity. This presentation showcases our team's efforts in developing tools for practical clinical ...

Abstract: The drug discovery process is challenging, time-consuming, and extremely expensive. Drug repurposing is a strategy for identifying new uses for existing drugs, aiming to simplify the process. While machine learning approaches have shown promise, they often need more mechanistic understanding,

Abstract: Africa is the ancestral homeland of all modern human populations within the past 300,000 years. It is also a region of tremendous cultural, linguistic, climatic, phenotypic and genetic. Despite the important role that African populations have played in human history, they remain one of the ...

Abstract: My group’s research centres on understanding the genetic and developmental bases of organ evolution. In the first part of my talk, I will describe our work on the development and evolution of sex differences. Sexually dimorphic traits are widespread among mammals and emerge during development

Abstract: Short Bio: Sílvia Osuna received her PhD in 2010 from the University of Girona (UdG) at the Institut de Química Computacional (IQC). In 2010, she moved to the group of Prof. Houk at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship. Sílvia is now an ...

Abstract: More than 300,000 mammalian virus species are estimated to cause infectious disease in humans. They inhabit a wide range of human tissues, including the lungs, blood, and brain, and often remain undetected. Efficient and accurate detection of viral infection is vital to understand its impact ...

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Life Sciences are revolutionizing scientific research. The deluge and heterogeneity of biomedical data is an invaluable resource to advance AI, and the use of AI methods in Biomedicine is fundamentally transforming the capacity for scientific discovery across ...
