After decades of rapid progress in nanomaterials and sensing performance, the field now stands at a pivotal moment: the challenge is no longer whether we can detect with extraordinary sensitivity, but whether we can do so in ways that are sustainable, scalable, and globally accessible.<br>\r\nThis talk envisions a future in which point-of-care biosensing becomes an integral part of everyday life through the coupling of advanced nanomaterials with sustainable platforms. Paper-based substrates and environmentally friendly fabrication methods, such as inkjet printing and stamping, enable a new paradigm of decentralized manufacturing, one that supports rapid deployment during global health emergencies, continuous environmental monitoring, and personalized, wearable healthcare.<br>\r\nBy integrating biorecognition elements, including antibodies and nucleic-acid–based receptors such as DNA probes and aptamers with functional nanomaterials, including metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, and two-dimensional materials, these biosensors achieve high sensitivity and specificity while remaining robust outside traditional laboratory settings. REASSURED-guided design, focusing on real-time connectivity, ease of use, affordability, sensitivity, specificity, rapid and user-friendly results, minimal equipment, and deliverability, ensures devices are intuitive, cost-effective, and provide actionable information in real time, often via visual or smartphone-based readouts.<br>\r\nSpanning applications from infectious disease surveillance and cancer diagnostics to neurodegenerative disease monitoring and water quality assessment, this work highlights a transformative shift: from isolated diagnostic tools to ubiquitous sensing ecosystems. Ultimately, sustainable nanobiosensors offer a pathway toward more resilient healthcare systems, empowered communities, and a future where access to critical information is no longer constrained by infrastructure or geography.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Bio:</u><br>\r\nICREA Research Professor and leader of the ICN2 Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group, Arben Merkoçi obtained his PhD at the University of Tirana (Albania) working with in ion selective electrodes.

This lecture series examines the often-invisible forces that shape architectural production—the clients who commission, the contractors who build, and the capital flows that determine what gets realized. While architects are trained to focus on design, the political economy of construction is largely absent from architectural education—sustaining a disciplinary insularity that obscures architecture's deep entanglement with capital, labor, and power. Yet building is fundamentally contingent: dependent on forces beyond the designer's reach, shaped by actors whose decisions constrain and enable architecture far more than design intentions. The series invites scholars and practitioners whose research illuminates these dependencies: the bureaucratization of architectural practice through corporate management systems, the client as a Mephistophelean figure key to the attainment of projects, the contractor as a decisive agent in determining how architecture is produced, and the entanglement of real estate development, finance, building, and urban form. By exposing the structural conditions of construction's political economy, we seek not to lament architecture's lack of autonomy but to work productively within its contingencies—essential groundwork for reimagining how practice might be organized otherwise.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDavide Spina (University of Hong Kong, online) Spina's award-winning dissertation examined the Vatican-controlled real estate developer and contractor SGI (Società Generale Immobiliare), which emerged as a major force in postwar Italy's reconstruction. His research on what journalist Antonio Cederna called \"the Leviathan\" reveals how SGI coordinated 10,000 employees, bureaucratized architectural production, exploited planning regulations, and delivered schemes from residential developments to industrial infrastructure. Currently working on real estate development in 1960s-70s Hong Kong, Spina examines how developers and contractors shape architectural culture through corporate management systems.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-16T15:20:01", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-23T14:42:31", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "AAC 1 14", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==AAC%201%2014", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67118003322?pwd=Rxn0N5RNHdUNwg0HhBRkRZzWPm8UlX.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Davide Spina ", "organizer": "RIOT ", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/elif.erez?lang=en\">Elif Erez Henderson</a> / <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/antoine.iweinsdeeckhoutte\">Antoine Iweins </a>/ <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nathalie.marj\">Nathalie Marj</a> ", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Architecture, Clients, Contractors, Capital", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119744/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71152, "title": "EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships", "slug": "embo-postdoctoral-fellowships-3", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/embo-postdoctoral-fellowships-3", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32524/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32524/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32524/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-07-10", "end_date": "2026-07-10", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<div class=\"EditMode EditingSurfaceBody FireFox WACEditing WACViewPanel_DisableLegacyKeyCodeAndCharCode usehover\">\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 SCXW143265749\">\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW143265749\"><strong>Aim: </strong>EMBO is an organization of more than 2,100 leading researchers that promotes excellence in the life sciences in Europe and beyond.
