In response to CNS insult, including traumatic injury or implantation of a medical device, astrocytes undergo a conserved, temporally regulated reprogramming that reshapes their prioritized functions to protect adjacent neural tissue. The nature and extent of astrocyte reprogramming critically influences outcomes after CNS insult. For example, regeneration after traumatic CNS injury in adult mammals is limited by local responding astrocytes lacking sufficient self-renewal capacity. By contrast, the CNS of neonate (newborn) mammals possesses exceptional parenchymal repair capacity owing to immature astrocytes with elevated proliferative and migratory potential. In the context of an implanted medical device, the spatial extent of astrocyte reprogramming and how impacted astrocytes respond to any further device micromotion, latent infection, or other persistent device-derived stimuli, dictates device performance and longevity. Engineering astrocyte responses to promote targeted functional gains while preserving key capabilities of healthy neural tissue astrocytes will be critical to enabling effective neural regeneration therapies and improving long-term performance of implanted devices. In this talk, I will outline our emerging understanding of how adult astrocytes adaptively reprogram in response to CNS injury and implanted foreign bodies, drawing insights from innovative astrocyte-specific transcriptomic bioassays. I will also provide an overview of biomaterial and cell-grafting strategies that we are exploring to direct astrocyte responses in preclinical models of stroke, spinal cord injury, and foreign body responses.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio:</strong><br>\r\n<strong>Dr. Timothy O’Shea, PhD</strong> is an Assistant Professor in the Biomedical Engineering department at Boston University (BU).

This makes them promising platforms for spin-optoelectronics and quantum technologies<sup>2,3</sup>.<br>\r\nDesigning them rationally, however, requires understanding how chirality is transferred from the<br>\r\norganic cations to the inorganic framework, and how this transfer governs their chiroptical and spin<br>\r\nproperties<sup>4</sup>.<br>\r\nIn this seminar I will present a simulation framework that combines ab initio molecular dynamics, freeenergy<br>\r\nmethods and time-dependent density functional theory to predict circular dichroism (CD),<br>\r\ncircularly polarized luminescence (CPL), absorption and emission dissymmetry factors (gabs, glum) in<br>\r\nchiral perovskites. Applied to (R/S-MBA)2PbI4 and its tin analogue, this approach shows that<br>\r\nenantiomeric excess acts as a continuous dial for chiroptical properties<sup>5</sup>. The response follows a<br>\r\ncooperative majority-rule mechanism, which we validated against experiments across the full<br>\r\nenantiomeric series. Electronic-structure analysis links the two characteristic CD bands to distinct<br>\r\nband-edge and organic–inorganic transitions.<br>\r\nI will also discuss how chemical strain and hydrostatic pressure can tune the intensity and sign of CPL<br>\r\nemission<sup>6</sup>, and how structural chirality, spin-orbit coupling and lattice distortions may shape spin<br>\r\npolarization. Together, these results outline predictive design rules for chiral perovskites with tailored<br>\r\noptical and spin functionalities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n1.

Of particular interest is its interplay with magnetism, anticipated already by Pierre Curie in 1894, as well as the emergence and propagation of chirality through molecular organization. Here, we explore these connections at surfaces, from the interaction of individual chiral molecules with magnetic substrates and spin-polarized electrons to the collective organization of molecular chirality in extended two-dimensional structures. First, we demonstrate enantioselective adsorption of individual helicene molecules on ferromagnetic cobalt surfaces. Spin- and chirality-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that left- and right-handed helicenes preferentially adsorb on Co islands with opposite out-of-plane magnetization, establishing a direct correlation between molecular handedness and substrate magnetization. Second, tunneling-conductance measurements through individual enantiomers reveal magnetochiral asymmetries of up to 50%, demonstrating spin-selective electron transport at the single-molecule level and excluding ensemble effects as the sole origin of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). Finally, we report the first observation of aperiodic chiral molecular tiling arising from topological self-assembly on a silver surface, demonstrating how molecular chirality can propagate from individual building blocks into complex collective organization.","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-10-01T19:17:53","last_modification_date":"2026-10-02T08:39:11","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"CH G1 495","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CH%20G1%20495","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"Karl-Heinz Ernst (EMPA)","organizer":"Sascha Feldmann","contact":"sascha.feldmann@epfl.ch","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":"pcseminar","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122021/","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/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=json"]},{"id":72741,"title":"PChem Seminar - Malte Rösner","slug":"pchem-seminar-malte-rosner","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/pchem-seminar-malte-rosner","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33956/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33956/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33956/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-12-03","end_date":"2026-12-03","start_time":"17:00:00","end_time":"19:00:00","description":"<p>Title TBA</p>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-10-01T19:33:00","last_modification_date":"2026-10-01T19:35:38","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"CH G1 495","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CH%20G1%20495","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"Malte Rösner (University of Bielefeld, Germany) ","organizer":"Nikita Kavokine","contact":"nikita.kavokine@epfl.ch","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":"pcseminar","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122026/","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/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=json"]}]}
