Webinar “A Gestão Hoteleira na Gestão Hospitalar"

28.10.2021 18:30


A Católica Porto Business School tem o prazer de o convidar para o webinar “A Gestão Hoteleira na Gestão Hospitalar” inserido nos Moving to the future webinars, que terá lugar no próximo dia 28 de outubro, pelas 18h30.

Num contexto em que a Gestão Hoteleira assume cada vez mais importância no mundo das empresas e das instituições, o setor da saúde não é exceção. Torna-se cada vez mais importante dotar os seus quadros de uma visão integrada dos temas que determinam o sucesso da indústria da Hospitalidade: conhecimento do contexto, gestão da relação com o cliente, gestão das operações, gestão de pessoas e inovação e criação de valor.

Este webinar será dinamizado por:

André Bettencourt Sardinha
Diretor do Serviço de Operações Hoteleiras no Centro Hospitalar Universitário São João EPE

Joana Almeida
Diretora da Pós-Graduação Hospitality Management

Margarida França
Diretora da Pós-Graduação em Gestão na Saúde

Silk sericin-based hydrogel: a novel biomaterial for wound healing

29.10.2021 14:15


Entre em https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/067f6168d16040dc803777f820541a25 no dia 29 de outubro de 2021 às 14h15 e assista à Biotalk (em inglês) de Sara Baptista Silva. A "entrada" é livre e gratuita, sem necessidade de inscrição.

 

Resumo

In situ cross-linked hydrogels have the advantage of effectively fulfilling the wound in its shape and depth for proper clinical use. Amongst the new generation of natural-based biopolymers being proposed for wound care and skin regeneration, silk sericin is particularly interesting due to its exceptional properties (i.e. biocompatibility, biodegradability, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant), being also a textile industry by-product and an environment contaminant. Hereupon, a novel in situ enzyme-mediated cross-linked hydrogel composed of silk sericin was performed via horseradish peroxidase, in a simple, fast, and practical in situ forming approach to produce a biomaterial able to be applied in low exudative chronic wounds. The achievements in a diabetic wound healing animal model granted its protection effect against oxidative stress, while controlling inflammation, promoting healing and fast tissue regeneration.

Computational microbiology – from extreme environments to biotechnology

09.11.2021 17:30


A talk by Lukasz Dziewit, Professor at the University of Warsaw (Department of Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology), Poland.

The development of sequencing technologies resulted in a tremendous progress in microbial ecology (including microbiology of extreme environments) and environmental biotechnology. It is directly related to the technological and conceptual leap in bioinformatics, which has become one of the most dynamically developing fields of biology. However, in environmental researches, and in particular in environmental microbiology, there is still a lot to be discovered and optimized, especially when analyzing data, coupling them with metadata and developing novel tools for studying microbial biodiversity. In our researches, we focused on genomic analyzes of plasmidomes and metaplasmidomes of extreme environments, identifying genes of an adaptive value and analyzing the range of horizontal gene/plasmid transfer. In addition, thanks to in-depth genomic analysis of psychrotolerant bacteria, we managed to create biological systems that use selected strains as microbial factories for producing various secondary metabolites (dyes, siderophores and surfactants), which then we used for producing novel environmental technologies. An important aspect of our research is also the development of novel tools (including bioinformatic ones) for environmental analyses. We developed a set of novel primers for screening of antibiotic resistance genes; LCPDb-ARG - literature-based, manually-curated database of PCR primers for the monitoring of antibiotic resistance genes in various environments and MAISEN – the system for semiautomatic annotation of bacterial genomes.
