The professional of the new millennium, especially bioengineers, must have a solid knowledge base and, at the same time, be creative to find solutions for the challenges of the future. Today's society relies heavily on robots, in factories, in military scenarios and in our own homes, so jump in this robotics train to the future! In this workshop you'll get introduced to the basic engineering skills required to develop robotic solutions to real-world problems, focusing in particular on the innovations recently made in this field: PNEUMA (an alternative ventilator using a self-inflating balloon, low cost and easy to assemble, developed to support Portuguese hospitals for the COVID-19 pandemic).
Deep artificial intelligence has become the mainstream approach to tackle biometrics-related tasks. Despite leading to outstanding performance with regards to the recognition of individuals based on their unique physical or behavioral traits, we no longer understand the thought process of our models. In other words we are, more than ever, in need of explainable artificial intelligence.
Playing games is easy, building a game is a completely different story. If you are interested in game development but don't know where to start, let us introduce you to this hands-on workshop! This workshop is designed for students who already have a background in programming and are looking to re-shape their programming skills, so here you will have contact with the conceptual basics of games, and have the opportunity to apply those in creating a simple game. Dont miss out on this starting point to broaden your understanding of the fundamentals of game development and design.
Every engineer is passionate about problem solving and innovation. Hence, it is fundamental that the Engineering community becomes aware of the potential of using programming languages to automate boring tasks or to solve complex optimisation problems. Therefore, this workshop will cover an introduction to programming in Python, for users knowing the basics of programming in another language. You will go towards a hands-on approach, where youll run a data analysis on a public dataset using Pandas (python package).
Nanoparticles have been widely explored for drug delivery in human cells. Recently, the global health issue of antimicrobial resistance led to increased interest on the design of nanoparticles to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools to manage infections. This workshop will discuss the design challenges of nanoparticles to target bacteria within the human body.
In recent years genome editing has been proven a powerful tool for gene inactivation, functional validation, among others. The aim of this workshop is to provide training on CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool, covering sgRNA design, molecular cloning, transfection, lentiviral infection, selection and clone characterization.
Within the scientific community there has been increasing distrust in regard to the reliability of scientific research, animal-based or otherwise. Lack of awareness to even the most basic requirements of reliable research adequate sample sizes, blinding, randomization, controlling of common biases has been identified as a main factor behind the poor reproducibility and translational value of published findings. This workshop will cover minimum requirements for good animal research planning and experimental design. Participants will be able to answer such questions as 'How to randomize in an experiment?', 'What is the experimental unit?', "Is my sample size large enough?". Although it is not expected that within the time-frame allocated for this workshop participants will become sufficiently knowledgeable to successfully plan and design an animal study autonomously, the aim is to draw attention to the main caveats to avoid, and to the conditions that must in place to make animal experiments more reliable, robust and reproducible, while avoiding wasting animals in poor quality studies.
In this workshop, students will be able to learn and explore the different applications of 3D Bioprinting. The workshop will include a short theoretical section in which students are encouraged to bring questions, followed by a hands-on session involving biomaterial preparation and a 3D bioprinting system.
In vitro microfluidic models are emerging as strong alternatives to animal research, as well as potential instruments for the development of personalized medicine solutions. This hands-on Workshop seeks to introduce students to this exciting technology and teach them about its applications.
