A The.Si.M.Bio.Sys. Group study reveals un precedented data on circadian rhythms Blog Post

Fluctuations in light intensity allow restoring the regularity of circadian rhythms. This is the main conclusion of the work carried out by Javier Buceta, group leader of (Theoretical and In Silico Modelling of Biological Systems) from the Co.S.Mo Lab –based at the Barcelona Science Park– and Antoni Díez-Noguera, dean at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Barcelona and group leader of Chronobiology at the Department of Physiology of the said faculty. Ekkehard Ullner and J. García Ojalvo, from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) have also participated in the work. The study, that has been published today, 6th of May, in Biophysical Journal, under the title “Noise-induced coherence in multicellular circadian clocks” (doi:10.1016/j.bpj.2009.02.031) appears on the front page of this journal.

PCB to host the workshop entitled «Tissue Dynamics and Growth» of the European Science Foundation Blog Post

On the 7th and 8th of May, the Barcelona Science Park (PCB) will be hosting a workshop on «Tissue Dynamics and Growth». The event has been organised by Javier Buceta, head of the Theoretical and In Silico Modelling of Biological Systems Group ()–that is part of the Co.S.Mo. LAB Unit (Computer Simulation & Modelling) based at PCB– and professors from the University of Barcelona, J. Casademunt and F. Sagués. This workshop has been sponsored by the European Science Foundation (ESF) –under the supervision of the FuncDyn Programme– the Physics Faculty of the University of Barcelona and the Barcelona Science Park.
