This presentation will introduce the latest techniques in optical imaging and detection and their applications, including confocal microscopy, two photon microscopy, photo-acoustic imaging, multi-spectral imaging and optical coherent tomography. Antibodies as tools to study plasma proteomes and biobanks Assoc. Prof. Jochen Schwenk Biobank Profiling and Affinity Proteomics, SciLifeLab, KTH New possibilities to study protein biomarkers of disease are driven by the growth in categorized patient collections hosted in disease or population biobanks. For a systematic exploration of larger numbers of patients, assays based on suspension bead arrays and antibodies from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA, www.proteinatlas.org, [1, 2]) are applied. This single-binder approach has yet revealed candidates for prostate cancer [3] or neuroendocrine tumors [4], and is being used for larger scaled, hypothesisfree disease studies. This affinity proteomic setting provides a versatile path that reaches beyond a pure discovery and enables different verification options through replication, additional serum or plasma samples [5], as well as other specimen such as proximal body fluids [6], tissues or cells. Experimental challenges such as susceptibility to off-target binding are being addressed by the use of several antibodies towards a common target, identification of captured proteins by mass spectrometry [7, 8], and ultimately by developing sandwich assays for the target of interest [8]. The presentation will give an overview on current activities to profile different types of cancer by antibodies for serum and plasma analysis, and will discuss strategies for candidate verification with and for multiplexed affinity proteomics technologies.

Mechanisms of neurological diseases Prof. Weihai Ying Med-X Research Institute, SJTU Neurological disorders, including stroke, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, belong to most devastating diseases. In this lecture, an overview about the disorders will be presented. The major mechanisms underlying neurological disorders, including oxidative stress, impaired energy metabolism, calcium dyshomeostasis, will be discussed. Potential therapeutic potential for the disorders will also be presented. Ultrahigh resolution and ultrasensitive fluorescence methods for biomolecular studies and towards diagnostic applications Prof. Jerker Widengren Experimental Biomolecular Physics, KTH The focus of our research group at KTH is to develop ultrasensitive and ultrahigh resolution fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging techniques for detection, identification and characterization of biomolecules, and to apply these techniques for fundamental dynamic and conformational studies of biomolecules and their interactions, as well as for biomolecular diagnostics and screening. In this presentation it will first be presented how additional, to-date largely unexploited, information can be extracted by monitoring long-lived, nonfluorescent, photo-induced transient states of organic fluorophores and their dynamics. By two major approaches, where the transient state information is obtained either from fluorescence fluctuation analysis or by recording the time-averaged fluorescence response to a time-modulated excitation, it is possible to combine the detection sensitivity of the fluorescence signal with the environmental sensitivity of the long-lived transient states [1-3]. Proofof-principle experiments, advantages, limitations and applications will be discussed and live cell transient state (TRAST) imaging of cellular metabolism will be presented. Second, it will be shown how ultrahigh resolution imaging of cellular protein distribution patterns using Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy can potentially provide new diagnostic parameters on the level of individual cells, and also give further insights into underlying disease mechanisms [4, 5]. Examples including cultured cells, clinically sampled breast cancer cells and platelets will be given. 1.

Prof. Hans Bornefalk Physics of Medical Imaging, KTH Computed x-ray tomography (CT) is the imaging method where a cross sectional map of the x-ray attenuating property (linear attenuation coefficient) of the body is generated from x-ray transmission measurements. Conventional CT detectors fail to extract and make use of the difference in contrast information between high and low energy photons. For this reason dual energy methods entered the market some 10 years ago, whereby 2 set images is generated from x-ray spectra with different mean energies. However, even such methods fail to make use of the energy information contained in individual x-rays and for that reason photon counting techniques have emerged recently that allow single photon detection and subsequent energy determination. We denote this photon counting spectral CT and this technique allows maximal extraction of the energy dependent x-ray attenuation information. The information can be used in a multitude of ways; for instance to reduce dose, increase contrast or to enhance particular materials. Spectral CT is widely believed to be the next big leap in the development of computed tomography since the slice race. The Physics of Medical Imaging group at KTH has developed such a prototype photon counting energy sensitive CT based on direct conversion silicon diodes. In this talk, spectral CT in general and photon counting spectral CT in particular will be addressed. Pros and cons of silicon as a high energy detector material will be discussed and we will also present pre-clinical CT images with unprecedented spatial and energy resolution acquired with a bench top prototype. The goal of the project is to integrate the detectors in a commercial CT gantry during 2015 and commence clinical trials. Computational modeling and simulation in neuroscience Prof. Erik Fransén Computer Science, KTH The lecture focuses on mathematical modeling and computer simulation of nerve cells, including physical and biochemical reactions within the cell, as well as networks of neurons and brain systems. We discus both methodological aspects of simulation as well as how modeling is used to address questions in brain science. Neuroengineering for clinical neuro-science Prof. Hans von Holst Neuroengineering, KTH With an ever-increasing knowledge and competence in biology, medicine and engineering, it is obvious that the present pattern that prevails within bioengineering is to become further developed in new specialties. The new paradigm, defined as Neuroengineering, is originating from an intense collaboration due to the development of more advanced technology for medical treatment in clinical neuroscience. The promotion of the new paradigm neuroengineering is sprung from a natural consequence of increased knowledge but also due to an increased demand of forwarding present engineering knowledge into new biology and medical applications for clinical neuroscience. In the present lecture some new innovative applications will be presented aiming at improving the knowledge and clinical treatment of some diagnoses in the field of clinical neurosurgery. This includes new types of helmets to prevent traumatic brain injury, new organic bioelectrodes for deep brain stimulation, a new fracture treatment defined as the FRAP technology, new imaging techniques for noninvasive brain injury evaluation. Acoustic 3D cell culture: from single cells towards tissue Assoc. Prof. Martin Wiklund Dept. of Applied Physics, KTH In this talk, we review our work on ultrasonic cell manipulation in multi-well microplates. The method is based on generating acoustic resonances in an array of micro-wells (1010 or more), in order to accurately control the migration, positioning and aggregation of cells at the level of individual cells. The device is compatible with high-resolution live-cell microscopy, which is used for fluorescence-based optical characterization. The cell handling device is fully integrated into a cell culture system where cells are continuously controlled during culture over time periods up to one week or more. The device has two main functions: It can be used for dynamic microarray cytometry (i.e. measuring time-dependent cellular properties in parallel at the level of single cells), and it can be used for controlled cell culturing (e.g. for micro-cultures in 3D), or both in parallel. We exemplify these two functions of the device in three different experiments: Quantifying the heterogeneity in cytotoxic response of natural killer (NK) cells interacting with cancer cells, dynamic characterization of the inhibitory immune synapse, and controlled formation of >100 solid liver tumor spheroids in parallel. The method can be used in the future for optimizing protocols when preparing immune cells for cancer immunotherapy. Fundamentals and practical application of the ultrasound contrast agents as a microdevice for molecular imaging and therapy Assoc. Prof. Dmitry Grishenkov Physics of Medical Imaging, KTH Ultrasound is probably the most used imaging approach for fast diagnosis and monitoring of physiological conditions of internal organs and systems. Its diagnostic efficiency can be greatly improved by the use of contrast agents (UCA), presently used for passive enhancement of blood echoes. UCA is generally a suspension of gas-filled microbubbles that are injected intravenously. A continues development of new contrast agents leads to the introduction of a new class of micro devices providing integrated diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities, i.e. theranostics, using novel multi-functional polymer-shelled microbubbles loaded with pharmacological moieties. With the help of visualisation techniques, such as ultrasound, MRI and CT, hybrid multimodal imaging as well as local and specific drug delivery down to molecular level become possible. The cutting-edge potential result of these integrated functions is the administration of a much lower drug dosage, avoiding the side effects of pharmaceutical overloading, a well-known drawback of chemotherapy. Predicting amino acid contacts in proteins from many homologous protein sequences Prof. Erik Aurell Theoretical Biological Physics, KTH Correlation patterns in multiple sequence alignments of homologous proteins can be exploited to infer information on the three-dimensional structure of their members. The typical pipeline to address this task is to: (i) filter and align the raw sequence data representing the evolutionarily related proteins; (ii) choose a predictive model to describe a sequence alignment; (iii) infer the model parameters and interpret them in terms of structural properties, such as an accurate contact map. I will show here that all three aspects are important for overall prediction success. In particular, it is possible to improve significantly along the second dimension by going beyond the pair-wise Potts models from statistical physics, which have hitherto been the focus of the field. These (simple) extensions are motivated by multiple sequence alignments often containing long stretches of gaps which, as a data feature, would be rather untypical for independent samples drawn from a Potts model. Using a large test set of proteins we show that the combined improvements along the three dimensions are as large as any reported to date. CASP is a biannual world-wide competition to computationally predict protein structures which have been experimentally determined but are not yet public. I will report on an attempt to compete in this summer's CASP using the above methodology as part of the prediction process. This lecture is built on joint work with Magnus Ekeberg and Tuomo Hartonen in press in J Comp Physics as well as joint work with Christoph Feinauer, Marcin J. Skwark and Andrea Pagnani (submitted). Robotics - Vision for Action and Action for Vision Prof. Danica Kragic School of Computer Science and Communication, KTH A robot system needs to autonomously acquire new knowledge through interaction with the environment. The knowledge can be acquired only if suitable perception-action capabilities are present: a robotic system has to be able to detect, attend to and manipulate objects in the environment as well as interact with people and other robots. We present our long-term work in the area of vision based sensing and control with specific objectives on attention, segmentation, multisensory control and learning. We address the problem of object detection, grasp stability assessment and probabilistic models for action encoding. Micro- and applications Nanosystem technology for medical Prof. Wouter van der Wijngaart Micro- and nanosystems, KTH In many cases the acceptable size of technology in medical applications is very limited. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) (also written as micro-electro-mechanical, MicroElectroMechanical or micro-electronic and microelectromechanical systems and the related micro-mechatronics) is the technology of very small devices; it merges at the nano-scale into nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nano-technology. MEMS are also referred to as micromachines (in Japan), or micro systems technology – MST (in Europe). The lecture will present recently developed miniaturized medical tools that enable new ways of performing diagnostics and therapy. These include minimally invasive medical devices and miniaturized in-vitro diagnostic techniques (also called Labs-on-Chip). Examples devices include microneedles for drug delivery, miniaturized in-vivo devices such as pressure sensors for measurements inside the coronary arteries and implantable microvalves for drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. Research is also made on ultra-high sensitivity sensors capable to detect minute concentrations of biomarkers or pathogens from human exhaled air or blood samples. Visual prosthesis based on penetrative optic nerve electrode Assoc. Prof. Yao Chen School of Biomedical Engineering, SJTU A visual prosthesis based on penetrating stimulation electrodes within the optic nerve (ON) is a potential way to restore partial functional vision for the blind patients. Although a rough visuotopographic relationship was found between the electrodes implanted just anterior to the chiasm in the ON, it is still unknown the topography and spatial resolution of penetrative ON prosthesis implanted close to ON head. A five-electrode array was inserted perpendicular to the ON axis or a single electrode was advanced at different depths within the ON ~12 mm behind the eyeball in 13 cats. Cortical responses were recorded by a 5×6 epidural electrode array. A sparse noise method was used to map electrode position in ON and the visual cortex to establish ON and cortical visuotopic maps. Then we compared the visual field positions of ON stimulation sites and their elicited greatest cortical response (M-Channels) sites. Finally, we estimated the spatial resolution of the penetrative ON prosthesis by calculating the difference in M-channel visual field positions corresponding to neighboring ON sites with an inter-electrode distance of 150μ m. Electrical stimulation with penetrating ON electrodes inserted just posterior to eyeball could elicit cortical responses with visuo-topographical correspondence in cats. The electrical stimulation through electrodes within the temporal ON can elicit cortical responses corresponding to the central visual field. According to the increment of penetrating depth, the corresponding elicited cortical responses shift from lower to central visual field. About 2⁰ to 3⁰ spatial resolution within a limited visuotopic representation in the cortex could be obtained by this approach. Visuotopic electrical stimulation with relatively fine spatial resolution could be accomplished by penetrative electrodes implanted at multi-sites and different depths within ON close to the optic nerve head. Optimization of combinatorial drugs using an engineering feedback System control (FSC) approach Assoc. Prof. Xianting Ding Med-X Research Institute, SJTU Drug combinations have been increasingly applied in clinical treatments towards various types of lethal diseases, including HIV, TB and cancers, due to the superior advantages of high efficacy, low toxicity and low occurrence of drug resistance. The death rate of HIV patients was dropped by 60% in two years after drug cocktails were introduced. While the drug combinations are in generally effective, optimizing drug combinations remains challenging. M drugs with N dose levels lead to NM total possibilities. For instance, 6 drugs with 10 dose levels ends up 1 million combinations, a prohibitive searching space for conventional trial-by-error type of drug optimization approaches. Furthermore, drug-drug interactions and drug-system interactions can be extremely complicated. Therefore, the information acquired from individual cellular molecules could hardly assess the accumulative response at the bio-system level. Herein, we introduce a Feedback System Control (FSC) approach, aiming to rapidly optimize drug combinations out of millions of possibilities. The FSC approach combines biological experimental tests and engineering feedback control algorithms, avoids the high-throughput examination on large dataset, optimizes a few combinations iteratively, bypasses the complicated intracellular molecular interactions, and is able to identify the optimal solution with only several rounds of experiments by testing less than 0.1% of the total searching space. The FSC platform technology has been successfully applied for optimizing drug combinations for 3 types of viral infections, 6 types of cancers, and other biological scenarios such as paradise control, stem cell maintenance and optimization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Figure 1. Scheme of Feedback System Control (FSC) in viral infection case. Virus attempts to infect host cells, while the drug combinations try to inhibit viral infection. For a non-optimal drug combination, a majority of cells would become infected. Iteratively, FSC suggests more effective drug combinations, leading to fewer viral infections.
