DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Yannis Missirlis (Patras University)\n\nMy initiatio
 n to biomedical engineering was my Ph.D. studies: structure-function relat
 ionships of human aortic heart valves. This “state of mind” continued 
 to guide my research until today.This presentation will focus on experimen
 tal techniques used to study the mechanics of individual blood cells\, of 
 bacteria and of endothelial cells in-vitro. Physiological and pathological
  conditions are considered. The measured mechanics are related to their st
 ructure\, and their environment (surfaces\, medium\, pathological state\, 
 pharmaceutical agents etc.). Applications include design of antibacterial 
 surfaces and tissue engineering\, with the use of appropriate bioreactors.
 What is lacking is the appropriate modelling of these systems in order to 
 proceed from basic phenomenological studies to a more complete understandi
 ng of the pertinent physiology and\, therefore\, to more successful applic
 ations.\n\nhttps://indico.lip.pt/event/2251/
