Sylvain Gabriele (University of Mons, Belgium) will give a seminar entitled :   Mechanobiology of epithelial cells: confinement, neighbours and curvature   The Mechanobiology & Soft Matter group belongs to the Interface and Complex Fluids Laboratory at the University of Mons. We seek to understand the basic physical principles underlying force transmission and elucidating how cell mechanical properties regulate cellular…

Invited by Vanessa Ribes, Clare Buckley (Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, UK) will give a seminar entitled : Building and Breaking the Neural Tube Her lab studies the fundamental cell biology of neural tube development using optogenetic and advanced live imaging approaches in vivo, within in the zebrafish hindbrain. They aim to…

Michalis Averof (Institut de Génomique Fonctionelle de Lyon (IGFL) - CNRS) will give a seminar entitled:   Do animals use the same mechanisms to generate and regenerate complex organs?   His team studies embryonic development and regeneration in crustaceans and insects. We try to understand the diverse mechanisms that these animals use to build and repair their bodies; for example, how different…

Jean-Yves Tinevez (Image Analysis Hub / C2RI / Institut Pasteur, Paris) will give on April 15th a seminar entitled:   Bioimage analysis platforms to track cells in large samples.   The Image Analysis Hub (IAH) of the Institut Pasteur is a core facility dedicated to service in Bioimage Analysis. Our mission is to support the research projects of…

Fabrice Caudron (IGM - Montpellier) will give on April 5th a seminar entiltled:   “Plasma membrane tension regulates the condensation of Whi3 into super assemblies”.   Fabrice is currently leading the team “Asymmetric inheritance of cell fate and memory”.
