The overarching, long-term goal of this laboratory is to help establish astrocytes as a therapeutic target in AD. The specific hypothesis to be tested in the proposal where the CSC student will participate is that the stimulation of the transcription factor CREB in astrocytes will result in improved cognition, reduced neurodegeneration and increased repair of brain tissue in AD. In Aim 1 we will gain further molecular understanding into the role of astrocytic CREB in normal astrocyte functions. Specifically, we will identify by DNA arrays, data mining and functional validation in cultures and slices, CREB-dependent genes regulating cell excitability (calcium signaling) and redox and energy homeostasis in astrocytes. CREB will be manipulated specifically in astrocytes by targeted overexpression of VP16-CREB or a dominant negative CREB (A-CREB). By the end of these studies we do expect to deliver a signature of CREB-dependent astrocyte genes controlling synaptic plasticity. In Aim 2 we will aim at establishing astrocytes as therapeutic targets in AD by enhancing or restoring astrocyte functions via CREB activation. Specifically, we will determine whether VP16-CREB reverses calcium hyperactivation, bioenergetic failure and oxidative stress in Ab-treated astrocytes or APP/PS1dE5 mice. In this Aim we highlight the analysis of laser-microdissected astrocytes, and the behavioral model of inhibitory avoidance where astrocytes have been shown to participate."]

We plan to take advantage of this phenomenon as a basis for building up  non-volatile memories which do not need of power supply to withhold information. A potential advantage that we can anticipate over other mechanisms triggering the RS is related with the use of an intrinsic property of the material (ferroelectricity) rather than on extrinsic defects such as oxygen vacancies, whose concentration strongly depend on material. The other important advantage of ferroelectric RS based memories comes from the possibility of non-destructive polarization state reading as compared with conventional ferroelectric RAM (Fe-RAM) for which the read-out process deletes the stored logic state. The objectives of the project will deal with (1) demonstration of RS, (2) demonstration of the ferroelectric nature of RS, (3) demonstrate the tunability of ferroelectric RS and explore the feasibility of multibit storage, (4) unveil the role of electrodes in defining the imprint (preferential polarization state)."]

For most of the cases, prostate tumor is initially androgen-dependent so patients are usually treated with androgen deprivation therapy. However, after remission the tumor very frequently progresses into a state of castration resistance, and available treatment options are only palliative in most cases. Therefore, a better understanding of the signaling pathways might help to propose new targets for the molecular therapeutic intervention of this type of tumors.\n   Several laboratories have pointed out the importance of the MAP kinase ERK5 or the oncogenic chaperone Cdc37 in the progression and invasivity of human prostate cancer. ERK5 and Cdc37 are frequently over-expressed in human prostate cancer, and both correlate well with malignity and poor prognosis. Overexpression of either ERK5 or Cdc37 in prostatic cell lines induces cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as prostate carcinogenesis. Furthermore, stable prostate cell lines that overexpress either ERK5 or Cdc37 are more efficient forming tumor xenografts, compared with parental cell lines. Conversely, silencing of either ERK5 or Cdc37 induces growth arrest in prostate cancer cells.\n    Our laboratory has observed for the first time that cytosolic ERK5 interacts with chaperons Hsp90 and Cdc37 in resting cells, and that activation of ERK5 induces Hsp90 dissociation prior to ERK5-Cdc37 nuclear translocation. More importantly, we have also observed that Cdc37 overexpression (as it happens in all human prostate cancers studied) also induces ERK5 nuclear translocation and ERK5-mediated AP1 transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we show for first time that overexpression of Cdc37 and ERK5 have a synergistic effect on human prostate PC3 cell proliferation. Finally we have also observed that ERK5 interacts with the androgen receptor (AR), a protein that plays a pivotal role in prostate cancer.\n    Taken together, these observations suggest a functional link between ERK5, Cdc37 and AR. Therefore, the aim of this project is to explore the synergism between ERK5, Cdc37 and AR in prostate cancer generation, progression and invasivity. Finally, our observation that nuclear ERK5-Cdc37 is transcriptionally active, but not sensitive to Hsp90 or Cdc37 inhibitors indicates that human prostate cancer overexpressing Cdc37 might not respond to chemotherapeutic treatment with either Hsp90 or Cdc37 inhibitors. As a result, we will also carry out a preliminary drug development program to identify lead compounds that, blocking the ERK5-Cdc37 interaction, might have potential anti-tumor action.  Thus,  we will pursue the following objectives:\n\n   1. Molecular and functional characterization of ERK5-Cdc37.\n   2. Molecular and functional characterization of ERK5-Androgen receptor interaction.\n   3. Validation of the role of the ERK5-Cdc37 dimer in the human prostate cancer paradigm.   \n  .4. Identifying small compounds that block ERK5-Cdc37 interaction. \n\nWe expect to expand the knowledge of the signaling mechanisms implicated in the progression and invasivity  of the prostatic cancer, and we hope to generate a new strategy for the therapeutic intervention of this type of cancer.\n"]

Overcoming resistance to anti-HER2 therapies.\n","The Human visual system (HVS) is a highly complex system and modeling its architecture and underlying processes is both a very challenging task and a leading-edge research topic. As a biological system, the HVS  performs many visual tasks in a near-optimum way. Computer Vision (CV) approach to model some of these tasks has usually been functional in the sense that CV has developed computational models that perform the task without necessarily taking into account the way the HVS performs this task. Recently, a successful stream in CV community has focused on  the definition and development of biologically plausible models to solve  several visual tasks. In contrast to the functional approach, these  models use a mechanistic approach. They reproduce the neurodynamical  mechanisms present in the HVS. In this direction, the PhD directors of the student/candidate have developed a neurodynamical computational model of the V1 area. This is the first area (without considering LGN) of the brain that receives the visual input from the eyes, and it has been shown that many low-level processes of the whole HVS are performed in it. The PhD supervisors have demonstrated the applicability of their model for some visual tasks as visual saliency and brightness induction, which shows that this model is able to unify several perceptual processes in the HVS under a common architecture and a common set of mechanisms. In this PhD project, the student will work on the application of this neurodynamical computational model to some visual tasks in CV (chromatic induction, high dynamic range imaging and visual saliency, among others) and the development of this model into a more complete architecture."]

It refers to a new generation of robots which are designed specifically to support a richer form of interaction with people, to cohabitate with them and, maybe one day, to be part of their everyday life. They are supposed to initiate, respond and mantain coherent interaction with the user. For this purpose, social robots are endowed with  human-like perception capabilities, like: vision, hearing and tact. From all of them, vision is perhaps the  most important and complex one. In consequence, a very natural way to assess a person's presence and to interact with him/her is thorough sensing and interpretation of his/her facial information. Faces are the main cue people use in order to assess a person's identity. At the same time, faces are the main gateway we use to express our emotions. \n\nObjectives: The purpose of this Ph.D. proposals is to study several aspects of the human-robot interaction which will further contribute to fill in the gap between the two worlds:\n- unsupervised face recognition through online learning: starting with initial an initial set of face, the robot  should built models of unseen persons, with a minimum intervention from the user\n- inferring a person's mood through facial expression analysis: we are interested to go beyond the physical signals and map them into mental states. We would like to identify the following attributes: interest, engagement, confusion, boredom.\n- creating user profiles through the integration of the previous two points. This will allow the robot to interact \nwith each person in a personalized way. \n\nThe working platform is represented by the AIBO robot. "]
