Seminar of Prof. Nima Haghdadi from the Imperial College in London, entitled “Microstructure design in multi-phase metallic materials via additive manufacturing” – November 22nd, 2024, at noon, in the Auditorium.

Abstract: Thermal gradients during metals additive manufacturing (AM) generate non-equilibrium and complex microstructures, particularly in multi-phase materials. Hence, most current adoptions of AM by various industry sectors continue to rely on alloys with a single dominating matrix phase only. My

Seminar by Dr. Manuel A. Fernández-Rojo from the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) in Madrid and the University of Queensland, Australia, entitled “Dietary Regulation of Liver Regeneration” – on October 3, 2024, at 12:00 PM, in the Seminar Room.

Abstract: Elevated mortality in liver transplantation-waiting list, clinical complications and scarcity of paediatric liver-donors warrant alternatives to liver transplant for treating paediatric-chronic liver diseases (CLD). Liver’s unique intrinsic capacity to regenerate damaged tissue constitutes a potential approach. However, CLD hinders
