- Abstract:
Interactions that occur on the cell surface have a central role in regulating many important biological processes, including, immune response, cell-cell communication, disease progression, and cell‒pathogen interactions. These processes are mediated by cell-surface glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycopolymers, and glycans expressed in the glycocalyx are unique identifiers of cell type that can indicate disease and could serve as drug targets. For many diseases and infections, there is still a need for effective treatments that halt their progression, and molecules that can bind the glycans could be used for early detection of the disease biomarkers or as drug delivery agents, as anticancer and antiviral treatments. These needs, however, require understanding of the chemical underpinning of the protein-glycan recognition, as well as efficient and detailed methods of structural analysis of glycans.
In the first part of the lecture, I will summarize role of glycans in diseases and viral infections, and discuss the challenge associated with the design of therapeutics targeting surface glycans. Next, I will discuss the basics of chemical recognition of glycans using covalent binding, metal-assisted binding, and noncovalent interactions. Finally, I will introduce the idea of flexible synthetic carbohydrate receptors, which include cooperativity and multivalency in their binding mode, as a design that could lead to development of novel sensing devices and unlock new glycan targets for future therapeutics.
In the second part of the lecture, I will discuss recent advances in gas-phase glycoanalytics. In principle, the development of the glycomics has been hampered by the lack of both high-resolution and high-throuhtput methods to able to isolate and deduce a glycan structure. Herein, I will focus in recent developments in liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, ion-mobility spectrometry and cryo IR spectroscopy in the context of the glycan analysis, discussing the strengths and limitations of these methods. While each of these methods has its own merits, the combination of the techniques provides a multidimensional reference library that could be used for seamless identification of complex glycans. Finally, I touch on the role of the computational chemistry in glycoanalysis, and its synergy with the gas-phase glycoanalysis.

- Abstract:
Diseases such as cancer, diabetes or viral and bacterial infections are one of the main causes of human mortality, regardless of age and origin. Perfect methods of treatment have still not been found. Much hope is placed on research into the origin of a disease, usually involving tens or hundreds of biological macromolecules called enzymes. From this point of view, one of the most important groups of enzymes are proteases, the increased or decreased level of which allows for rapid clinical diagnosis using specific markers, and also gives the opportunity for rational, rapid research on drug discovery based on protease activity. An excellent reason for research on proteases are commercially available anti-cancer, anti-diabetic and anti-viral HIV drugs that rely on the inhibition of protease activity. Unfortunately, these drugs can only be used for a limited number of diseases, and many other proteases (around 650 proteases have been described in humans to date) involved in various disorders in humans and other living organisms require further research.
Proteases are key players in the development of viral diseases. Recent studies show that proteases operate in a network that involves the activity of many different proteolytic enzymes at the same time. Given the fact that more and more proteases are actively involved in viral diseases, there is an urgent need to develop new chemical tools that, thanks to the activity of enzymes, can be used for their precise monitoring or the search for drug candidates. Moreover, in order to detect the active form of the protease, one should use chemical tools called activity-based probes. The lecture will present modern techniques of creating tools for the study of viral proteases.
The event is obligatory to all doctoral students, and of interest, I hope, to the whole IChF community.

- Abstract:
In developmental systems, cells determine their fate by decoding chemical signals, called morphogens. This leads to the emergence of gene expression patterns, whose dynamics is still not fully understood. In this presentation I will address the problem of gene expression patterns stability in the systems where two diffusible morphogens affect each other’s production and control the growth of their own source regions. Such systems are encountered in e.g. spinal cord development, limb formation and many others. The reaction-diffusion equation with the bi-stable production term is employed as a generic model for this problem. It is found that its dynamics is governed by the conservation law, which leads to a range of analytical results. In particular, the phase transition is observed, between the phase of indeterminate patterning, where region of mixed gene expression is ever-growing, and the phase of travelling gene expression patterns, where two expression domains form and preserve a well-defined contact zone. A sub-class of genuinely stationary patterns is then identified, alongside the exact conditions ensuring this stability. These results allow me to classify the ability of various two-gene regulatory motifs to produce stable gene expression patterns.

Passcode: 633683
- Abstract:
Despite the vast clinical acceptance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in visualizing the structure and vasculature system (angiography) of the retina, the method is still lacking the capability to provide molecular fingerprints of retinal tissue. The assessment of biochemical changes would critically enhance the early disease diagnostics when treatment is most effective. In recent years Raman spectroscopy (RS) has been recognized as an extremely powerful tool for bioanalytical and biomedical applications because the method provides molecular fingerprint information of the molecular structure and biochemical composition of cells and tissues without external markers. Diseases and other pathological anomalies are accompanied by changes in these properties. However, the application of spontaneous RS under in vivo conditions is extremely challenging due to the delicate nature of the eyes. The presentation will review different approaches for ocular RS and focus on the first reported spontaneous RS fingerprint spectra of the human retina in-vivo.

- Abstract:
Long-Term Memory (LTM) and Working memory (WM) interact closely, but the neuronal basis of this interaction remains poorly understood. In our previous research we discovered that stimulus-selective persistent activity of Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) neurons supports WM maintenance. As MTL is crucial for forming new memories this persistent activity could play an important role also in LTM encoding. Indeed, the strength of the stimulus-selective activity during WM maintenance predicts whether an item is subsequently remembered in the later LTM recognition task. These results show that selective neuronal activity during WM maintenance acts as a common neural substrate for both WM maintenance and LTM formation.

- Abstract:
The discovery of electroluminescence of organic molecules is one of the ground-breaking and promising breakthroughs in the last century. Owing to it and to the progress in the field of organic electronics over the last half-century, nowadays, we are surrounded by organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) products. In addition to lightness, flexibility, and low production cost, the major advantage of using organic emitters for OLEDs is the possibility to tailor their properties by designing and modifying their molecular structures. From the viewpoint of emission mechanisms, there are two types of emitters: fluorescence and phosphorescence emitters. Fluorescence emitters are the first generation of electroluminescence emitters for OLEDs, but they are fatally restricted by the upper limit of internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 25%, due to spin-statistics. The second-generation emitter, phosphorescence emitters, are more efficient and for this reason, are commonly used in OLED-based displays. However, nothing is perfect: phosphorescence emitters that are currently used in organic electronics are organometallic complexes comprising of very expensive and rare heavy metals such as Ir and Pt. To overcome this problem, the search for all-organic TADF (Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence) emitters is conducted.
Herein I present a new approach to the design of metal-free organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters for organic light-emitting diodes. I present different aspects of modification of molecule structure in order to increase efficiency. Even by simple electrochemical modification, it’s possible to change the energy levels in order to decrease the singlet-triplet energy gap. The subtle tunning of the energy difference between the singlet and triplet excited states allows for tailored emission properties of thermally activated delayed fluorescence and its efficiency. Finally, depending on the molecule and its host environment interaction, we may change the emission and increase efficiency. All presented steps will give an insight into broad possibilities of tailoring OLED emitters.
The event is obligatory to all doctoral students, and of interest, I hope, to the whole IChF community.

- Abstract:
To provide more personalized treatment, human physiology models are becoming more and more complex and the amount of data is increasing considerably, therefore, advanced methods of modelling and data analysis are necessary.
Since 2000 DICE Team (http://dice.cyfronet.pl/) has been involved in the research focused on problem-solving environments and decision support systems on distributed computing infrastructures for medicine. The main partners were the University of Sheffield, University of Amsterdam, Juelich Supercomputing Centre, LMU and Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Munich. As a result of successful scientific collaboration a new scientific unit: Sano Centre for Computational Personalized Medicine – International Research Foundation was established in 2019, in Krakow (https://sano.science/).
Sano Centre is a new non-profit, autonomic research institute dedicated to advancement of computational medicine, development of computer methods for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, meet the worldwide need for efficient, effective and streamlined healthcare.
Six Sano research teams cover such in-silico medicine areas as modelling and simulation, data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning methods, image processing, IT methods in medicine, large-scale computing, and decision-making support systems. This research will result in the development of tools supporting doctors in diagnostic and treatment processes. It is extremely valuable from the point of view of an individual patient and will reduce the costs of treatments. Modern computer technologies developed in Sano may also be used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories.

- Abstract:
Noninvasive assessment of metabolic processes that sustain regeneration of human retinal visual pigments (visual cycle) is essential to improve ophthalmic diagnostics and to accelerate development of new treatments to counter retinal diseases. Fluorescent vitamin A derivatives, which are the chemical intermediates of these processes, are highly sensitive to UV light; thus, safe analyses of these processes in humans are currently beyond the reach of even the most modern ocular imaging modalities. We present a compact, two-photon-excited fluorescence scanning laser ophthalmoscope and spectrally resolved images of the human retina based on two-photon excitation (TPE) with near-infrared light. A custom Er:fiber laser with integrated pulse selection, along with intelligent postprocessing of data, enabled excitation with low laser power and precise measurement of weak signals. Our work establishes a TPE instrument and measurement method for noninvasive imaging of the human retina. This approach opens new possibilities for monitoring eye diseases in the earliest stages.

- Abstract:
Engineering biology holds tremendous potential to revolutionize several applications from environment, to energy, to health. Living cells can be equipped with gene-based circuits that accomplish a variety of functions, theoretically allowing us to program cells with de novo capabilities such as sensing environmental chemicals, releasing drugs, or producing materials, and artificially regulating endogenous molecules that dictate cell phenotype. A major challenge today, is the intricate dependence of genetic circuits’ functions on extra and intra-cellular context. For example, although we wish that the genetic circuits keep their functionality independent of whether we include other components in the cell, this is rarely the case. This issue complicates design and is a formidable obstacle to the practical use of engineered cells. In this talk, I will review some causes of context dependence, drawing examples from both bacterial and mammalian cells, and will introduce one approach based on control theory to mitigate it. I will conclude the talk with an overview of the limitations of current approaches and of unmet needs, which require more research.

- Abstract:
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and accessory proteases (TMPRSS2 and CTSL) are needed for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) cellular entry, and their expression may shed light on viral tropism and impact across the body. We assessed the cell-type-specific expression of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and CTSL across 107 single-cell RNA-sequencing studies from different tissues. ACE2, TMPRSS2 and CTSL are coexpressed in specific subsets of respiratory epithelial cells in the nasal passages, airways and alveoli, and in cells from other organs associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission or pathology. We performed a meta-analysis of 31 lung single-cell RNA-sequencing studies with 1,320,896 cells from 377 nasal, airway and lung parenchyma samples from 228 individuals. This revealed cell-type-specific associations of age, sex and smoking with expression levels of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and CTSL. Expression of entry factors increased with age and in males, including in airway secretory cells and alveolar type 2 cells. Expression programs shared by ACE2+TMPRSS2+ cells in nasal, lung and gut tissues included genes that may mediate viral entry, key immune functions and epithelial–macrophage cross-talk, such as genes involved in the interleukin-6, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor and complement pathways. Cell-type-specific expression patterns may contribute to the pathogenesis of COVID-19, and our work highlights putative molecular pathways for therapeutic intervention.

- Abstract:
This talk will present some recent developments that can enable rigid endoscopes to be used for polarization- and wavelength-resolved reflectance imaging with the aim of providing image-guided surgical diagnostics and therapy. We are working with surgical teams to understand the trade-off between usability, imaging speed and signal resolution. For instance, polarimetry is a promising technique for minimally invasive characterisation of biological tissue but to date there has been a focus on the analysis of biological specimens in transmission mode or imaging of tissue surfaces such as polarimetry of human skin. Spectroscopy techniques are also promising but suffer from practical difficulties that make their use by clinicians non-intuitive. Various solutions will be presented to provide ergonomic systems that can be used for data collection and validation.

- Abstract:
This presentation overviews fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy and imaging techniques for label-free in vivo characterization of biological tissues. Numerous studies have shown that tissue autofluorescence properties have the potential to assess biochemical features associated with distinct pathologies in tissue and to distinguish various cancers from normal tissues. However, despite these promising reports, autofluorescence techniques have been sparsely adopted in clinics. This presentation overviews clinically-compatible multispectral fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) techniques developed in our laboratory and their ability to operate as stand-alone tools, integrated with a biopsy needle and intravascular catheters and in conjunction with the da Vinci surgical robot. We present clinical studies in patients undergoing surgery that demonstrate the potential of these techniques for intraoperative delineation of brain tumors and brain radiation necrosis as well as head and neck cancer, including image-guided augmented reality during trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS). Challenges and solutions for the clinical implementation of these techniques are discussed.

Optoretinography (ORG) is a research area in which noninvasive, optical techniques are explored for measuring deformations in retinal neurons caused by light stimuli and signal transduction. Its first successes fifteen years ago have spawned a variety of implementations including common-path interferometry with adaptive optics (AO); full-field (FF) swept-source (SS) OCT with digital aberration correction; scanning AO-OCT; and AO-FF-SS-OCT. In this talk, I will first give an overview of previous work done in our lab, using scanning AO-OCT and AO-FF-SS-OCT, and then describe our current efforts to develop a proto-clinical ORG system--capable of acquiring ORG measurements robustly and quickly and providing rapid feedback to clinicians. The system is constructed with relatively inexpensive parts, and illustrates how ORG measurements could be integrated into typical commercial OCT systems.

- Abstract:
Additive manufacturing, also commonly known as 3D printing, is rapidly becoming a part of our everyday life. From DIY use by hobbyists to industrial manufacturing, 3D printing is setting a milestone in bringing new industrial revolution to reality. The technologies advance quickly with faster print rates, broader choice of materials and a constantly increasing accuracy and printing resolution. Impressively, state-of-the-art techniques take the printed feature sizes to the extreme: multiphoton optical stereolithography and focused electron or ion beams are now capable to produce objects with nanoscale resolution. Although at the cutting edge to printing finest details, these advanced manufacturing methods lack the capacity to process dense and pure electrical conductors – materials very much needed to push the limits of the technologies of the future. Microelectronics, nanooptics, microrobotics and energy storage are only a few examples of application areas where 3D printing of conductive metals can make a revolution. And it seems that modern chemistry (and electrochemistry in particular) can make this possible. In this lecture we are going to take a look on electrochemical technologies that allow 3D printing of metal objects with micro- and nanoscale dimensions, will see the latest achievements and discuss the future challenges in this exciting emerging technological and research field.

- Date: 14 Oct 2021, 16:30
- Lecturer: Henri Leinonen, PhD, Academy of Finland Fellow, Principal Investigator at the School of Pharmacy, University of Eastern Finland
- Institution: Joint seminar of ICTER & Department I
- Abstract:
Our research objective is to test treatments based on a drug repurposing strategy in various retinal degenerative disease models. We use a systems biology approach to identify G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) targets that can be readily targeted using clinically approved drugs. We have shown in several instances that treatment with a combination therapy comprised of several simultaneously administered GPCR-acting drugs at low doses (sub-therapeutic if given as monotherapy) prevents or alleviates acutely induced retinal degeneration and progressive diabetic retinopathy, respectively. Currently, we are pursuing this promising drug development pipeline by expanding the trials into progressive retinal degenerative disease models that differ in etiology, but which have the same blinding endpoint, and into initial clinical trials. A subsequent crucial task is to uncover the exact molecular mechanisms that can explain the retinal protective effects of our combination therapy. This will facilitate in further development of the treatment concept and can launch innovative novel drug development pipelines.

Two-photon vision: mechanism, characteristics and applications
- Date: 7 Oct 2021, 16:30
- Lecturer: Katarzyna Komar, PhD Nicolaus Copernicus University, Currently post-doc researcher at Physical Optics and Biophotonics Group, ICTER
- Institution: Joint seminar of ICTER & Department I
- Abstract:
The seminar will focus on a new way of perceiving near-infrared light-based on two-photon absorption occurring in photoreceptor pigments. The phenomenon enables the perception of short-pulse laser beams with wavelengths of 850-1200 nm focused on the retina; the color of these beams corresponds to approximately half of their wavelength.
The nonlinear nature of the interaction of light with photoreceptors implies certain features that distinguish two-photon vision from a normal vision: quadratic dependence of stimulus brightness on light intensity and retinal stimulation limited to the area of the beam focus. These features make two-photon vision useful in functional vision research, both at the basic research level and in ophthalmic diagnostics.

- Abstract:
Optoretinography is a technique that uses an optical probe to reveal neuronal activity in the retina. In our implementation, we used adaptive optics (AO) optical coherence tomography (OCT) to obtain optoretinograms from photoreceptors in the living human eye. OCT is a technology that uses interferometry to obtain depth-resolved profiles of tissue. Phase-resolved OCT measures extremely small changes of optical path length, in turn enabling the detection of the response of photoreceptors to a visual stimulus as a conformational change. The use of AO allows to obtain diffraction-limited images of the retina, resolving individual photoreceptors.

Passcode: 896107
- Abstract:
Conjugated zwitterions and biradicals are well-known as transient intermediates in photochemistry. Such molecules are also found in interstellar space and in molecular clouds. Indeed, these seemingly different classes of molecules share related electronic structures. Yet, little is known about how to render them stable under ambient conditions and how to harness their peculiar properties for specific applications.
In this talk I will present on how to use carbenes as ligands to stabilize zwitterionic metal complexes, namely nitrene and imido complexes of the late transition metals. I will then show how these strongly polarized compounds are of use for the activation of strong bonds in catalysis and functional group transfer. Complementary, I will illustrate how carbenes tame biradicals and tailor their excited energy landscape. Thus, we have explored carbene control to engineer molecules for application as singlet-fission- and two-photon absorption materials.

Passcode: 694723
- Abstract:
Retinol binding protein 3 (RBP3) is a major component of the interphotoreceptor matrix (the space between the photoreceptor cells and the RPE) and mediates the interaction between rods, cones, RPE and Muller cells by shuttling retinoids and potentially lipids. Mammalian RBP3 is a single polypeptide having four modules, and each consists of ~300 amino acids.
In our proposed project, we will determine the structure of RBP3 protein at a high resolution for understanding the role of the cooperativity mechanism and open the possibility of structure-based drug design. Along with this, we plan the use of a two-photon microscopy technique that will rely on the ligand binding characteristics and the anti-correlation between amounts of RBP3 protein and severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR), in order to develop a non-invasive diagnostic tool for early detection of DR. The quantification, structural determination and potential monitorization of RBP3 in DR, and at an early stage, could be a ray of hope in the development of new therapeutic approaches for DR.

Here I will discuss our research in the field of chemical catalysis driven by these motivations. Our research is pillared on three distinct but intertwined strategies, including the catalyst development by improving mechanistic understanding of the catalytic reactions, the development of new reactions by mechanistic design, and the development of (complex) transformations by relay multicatalysis. Each strategy will be portrayed with selected recent examples along with our current efforts.

- Abstract:
Sub-diffraction-limit interference microscopy using microspheres
Interference microscopy is a contact-less imaging technique allowing surface topographies to be reconstructed with a high axial sensitivity (a few nanometres). However, its lateral resolving power remains low (a few micrometres) due to not only the diffraction limit, but also to the ability of the system to retrieve the depth information. Recently, works have made it possible to overcome this physical barrier by introducing glass microspheres in interference microscopes. Topographies of objects having spatial periods of 200 nm have been reconstructed in air with a high accuracy. Furthermore, adding similar microspheres into the two arms of the interferometer has enabled to avoid numerical compensations of optical aberrations and dispersions. In this presentation, I will first introduce the concept of diffraction limit through Fourier optics and one of the advances to perform sub-diffraction-limit imaging, microsphere-assisted microscopy. Then, I will present our works on this wide-field direct imaging technique and on the enhancement of resolution in phase-shifting interferometry.

- Abstract:
Optical nanoscopy techniques allow the detection, observation and study of nanometric dimensions which is very useful in metrology and the characterisation of materials. In this talk I will first describe some of the basic principles of label-free optical nanoscopy and some of the different techniques, looking at the difference between nano detection and super-resolution. Then I will describe the more specific technique of interference microscopy which while being better known for surface roughness measurement, can also be used in real-time measurements, tomography and spectroscopy. The latter part will then concern some of our latest work in the development of a new local spectroscopy technique and of different environmental chamber systems for measuring specific material properties such as the creep compliance of nanometrically thin polymer films ("nanobubble" method), polymer droplet evaporation (the famous "coffee stain" problem) and adsorption of chemical species in colloidal layers (immersion system).

An in situ autofluorescent assay of photoreceptor stimulus response in mouse retina and human retinal organoids
Kayvan Samimi, Bikash Pattnaik, Elizabeth Capowski, Katherine Mueller, Amr Abdeen, Krishanu Saha, David Gamm, Melissa Skala
Human retinal organoids (RO) derived from embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells provide an important source of highly differentiated retinal cells and tissue-like structures for studying retinal development, function and disease mechanisms. Within the eye, photoreceptors (PRs) are the key functional cell types responsible for the initiation of vision.
One of the goals of long-term RO culture is to mature photoreceptor cells to the stage where they elaborate functional outer segments capable of phototransduction. Recent studies have reported variable photosensitive functionality in stem cell-derived PR cells that are differentiated in 3D culture. However, in these direct studies of PR activity, photosensitivity is determined by performing perforated patch clamp measurements of current through an individual PR cell’s membrane while a light flash (or chemical stimulus) is applied. While this electrophysiological assay is reliable, sensitive, and has high temporal resolution, it is also invasive, laborious, and extremely low-throughput. Therefore, a high-throughput, noninvasive, in situ, and longitudinally repeatable assay of phototransduction in photoreceptor cells is needed.
Here, we demonstrate a functional readout of light response in photoreceptors based on autofluorescence of the visual cycle’s retinol compounds. Upon absorption of a photon in the cell’s outer segment, the light-sensitive 11-cis-retinalaldehyde (RAL) isomerizes to its all-trans configuration (AT-RAL) and migrates to the cytosol where it gradually converts to all-trans-retinol (ROL) through retinol dehydrogenase/reductase enzymes RDH8 and RDH12. This RAL to ROL conversion results in a blue-shift of the fluorescence spectrum and a longer fluorescence lifetime. In-situ multiphoton excitation and time-correlated single photon counting were used to image RAL to ROL conversion in mouse retina and cultured OVs with high spatial resolution. Chemical stimulus (50 μM AT-RAL) in mouse retina and human ROs resulted in conversion of RAL to ROL over 30 minutes based on autofluorescence lifetimes. Inhibition of the enzymatic conversion using 100 μM retinoic acid eliminated the autofluorescence lifetime change. Immunohistochemistry of fixed human ROs confirmed expression of RDH enzymes in PR cell segments where the autofluorescent signal was observed. Overall, we find that the fluorescence lifetimes and spectral separation of RAL and ROL enables robust interrogation of mature function in PRs. This imaging assay could enable rapid optimization of RO culture conditions, as well as provide a novel method to evaluate PR maturation and adverse events in response to genome editing.

- Abstract:
The development of optical imaging systems allowing structural and functional assessment of retina in vivo is of great interest to clinical and experimental ophthalmology because it promises to provide a more sensitive tool for ocular disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. The UC Davis EyePod Small Animal Ocular Imaging Laboratory was created in 2012 to focus on the development and application of multimodal optical imaging systems for the studies of the living mouse retina. Mice are often an animal model of choice for many human diseases, greatly helping with advancing our understanding of disease pathophysiology and allowing the development and testing of new treatments. In this talk, I will present our progress in developing multimodal imaging tools, often providing complementary information, allowing investigation of retinal structure and, in some cases, function. I will also showcase our efforts to correlate the in vivo observations with ex vivo results allowing better interpretation of in vivo studies.

- Abstract:
Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is the most abundant non-methane hydrocarbon emitted into the atmosphere, and is primarily derived from broadleaf trees. Atmospheric oxidation of isoprene by hydroxyl (OH) radical leads to isomeric isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX) in high yields (~53%) under low-nitric oxide (NO) conditions. Acid-driven multiphase chemistry (or reactive uptake) of IEPOX with inorganic sulfate aerosol (Sulfinorg) is known to yield substantial amounts of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) through formation of organosulfates. The extent of inorganic-to-organic sulfate conversion through this multiphase chemistry remains unknown as well as its implications for modifying critical aerosol properties such as acidity, morphology, and phase state. Combined laboratory, field, and modeling studies will be described in this seminar that reveal the hitherto unrecognized effect that acid-driven multiphase chemistry of IEPOX results in substantial conversion of Sulfinorg to organosulfate compounds, especially at higher IEPOX-to-Sulfinorg (IEPOX/Sulfinorg) ratios. Assuming IEPOX mixing ratios remain constant, continuing Sulfinorg reductions in the Northern Hemisphere as a consequence of SO2 emission controls are thus expected to greatly increase the fraction of Sulfinorg converted into organosulfate compounds in the future. Notably, our microscopy measurements reveal that these SOA particles develop a core-shell morphology, where the aqueous core contains inorganic constituents and the shell contains low-volatility organosulfate compounds (as well as other organics) that formed during the multiphase chemistry of IEPOX. By combining aerosol thermodynamic and viscosity modeling, our predictions show that aerosol viscosity and acidity change drastically after IEPOX reactive uptake, with the aerosol becoming less acidic (increasing by up to 1.5 pH units) and more viscous by 7 orders of magnitude, thereby significantly reducing the diffusion timescale of the IEPOX inside the particles. Decreased aerosol acidity and increased viscosity co-contribute to a self-limiting effect where newly formed IEPOX-derived SOA inhibits additional multiphase chemical reactions of IEPOX. Lastly, due to the fact that these low-volatility organosulfates are found in the shell of these SOA particles, we recently investigated the role of heterogeneous OH oxidation in aging these particles. We found substantial evidence that these particles are chemically converted further by this process into multifunctional and highly-oxidized organosulfates. These products will be demonstrated to be present in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) collected from various locations. Our work highlights important interconnections between physical and chemical properties of aerosol particles that come from interactions of inorganic and organic components, which jointly influence the evolution and impacts of atmospheric aerosols.
The event is obligatory to all doctoral students, and of interest, I hope, to the whole IPC community.

- Abstract:
Ultrashort pulse lasers for biomedical imaging and molecular spectroscopy: how to make them compact, simple, and affordable
Lasers emitting very short optical pulses (on the timescale of femtoseconds, i.e., 10-15 s) are highly demanded in many industrial and scientific applications. Usually, the term "femtosecond laser" is associated with a bulky, complicated and expensive device. On the other hand, the well-established telecom fiber technology enables the development of simple, near-infrared sources of femtosecond pulses. Such lasers can serve as pump sources for various nonlinear processes, like frequency conversion, mid-infrared generation, and optical frequency comb generation.
The presentation will cover the recent achievements of the Optical Frequency Comb Spectroscopy Group from Wrocław University of Science and Technology: the development of a compact 780 nm fiber laser for two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy of biological samples and the development of a compact optical frequency comb in the mid-infrared spectral range (8 – 9 μm) for precision spectroscopy of N2O.

- Abstract:
The biomechanical properties of the ocular tissues can be dramatically altered by various diseases, such as keratoconus for the cornea, presbyopia for the lens, and glaucoma for the retina. Therefore, the ability to measure tissue biomechanical properties could provide critical information for assessing its health and detecting disease etiology as well as monitoring disease progression. Here, I will overview recent advances on the development of noncontact dynamic optical coherence elastography (OCE) and Brillouin techniques to evaluate the biomechanical properties of different ocular tissues.
