| The field of image restoration is continually evolving with the introduction of advanced deep learning models capable of tackling increasingly complex restoration tasks. The use of foundation models, which are pre-trained on diverse data before being fine-tuned for specific tasks, has demonstrated considerable promise in various domains of artificial intelligence. This proposal aims to develop a new foundation model for image restoration by incorporating the state-space model and enhancing it with text prompt capabilities. This approach will allow the model to perform targeted restorations based on descriptive textual prompts, significantly improving the precision and quality of the restoration process. - Computer Vision

| Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) is the non-contact SPM technology to image live cells based on glass capillaries with a nanometric aperture. It applies a voltage and measures the ionic current flowing through the pipette above the sample in the buffer solution: the recorded current represents the feedback signal to measure the topography of the sample. In collaboration with Prof. Fantner at EPFL, this project aims to assemble a state of the art high-speed SICM to enable time-resolved live cell imaging. - Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nanotechnology, Signal Processing

| What about implantable self-powering devices to monitor biophysical signals at nanoscale? As a part of the interdisciplinary frontier between material science and new biomedical applications, being able to monitor biological or physical markers and signals, allows for a better treatment from both the diagnostic and healing point of view. Among them, biocompatible and non-intrusive wearable monitoring devices, which are so flexible to adhere perfectly to biological tissue, and even to cells like neurons, gain increasing interest. However, fabricating the devices and the electrodes at nano/microscale remains a challenge.
FluidFM is a force-controlled nanopipette, a versatile tool also for 2D patterning and 3D printing in liquid environment, opening the opportunity to manufacture the devices at the sub-micron scale.
We are going to create the devices and electrodes depositing conductive polymers with the FluidFM and then to perform the opportune characterization. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences, Physics

| Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a unique group of autoimmune diseases. Researches have demonstrated that antibody-induced disruption of Dsg3 transadhesion initiates a signaling response in basal keratinocytes followed by loss of tissue integrity. The complexity of morphogenesis and tissue regeneration implies the existence of a transcellular communication network in which individual cells sense the environment and coordinate their biological activity in time and space.
To understand the fascinating ability of tissue self-organization, comprehensive study of biophysical properties (cell topography and bioelectricity) in combination with the analysis of biochemical networks (signaling pathways and genetic circuits) is required.
Together with the University of Bern and University of Lübeck, we aim to utilize the tools to study the topography and electrophysiology (cell potential, ion channel recording, localized ion detection, charges) of HPEK cells (human primary keratinocytes cells) to unravel the signaling pathways of the disease. We utilize optical imaging (fluorescence dyes) and biosensing tools (including the state of the art hs-SICM and electrical FluidFM setup) to study HPEK cells upon desmosome disruption.
