Invited by the Palancade Lab, Ben Montpetit (University of Californie, Davis, USA) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: RNA-binding protein (RBP) recruitment, occupancy, and stoichiometry in nuclear mRNA-protein complexes. Abstract: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interact with mRNA and associated factors to form supramolecular complexes called messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles. These dynamic assemblies change to direct and…

Invited by the Wassmann Lab, Joao Matos (Max Perutz Labs, University of Vienna) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: Building, maintaining and discarding large macromolecular assemblies during gametogenesis The life cycle of sexually reproducing eukaryotes depends on two specialized chromosome segregation programs: mitosis and meiosis. Whereas mitosis drives cellular proliferation and the stable propagation…

Invited by the Prioleau Lab, Ana Rita Gomes (LPHI - Laboratory of Pathogens and Host Immunity, Université de Montpellier) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: The genetic landscape of origins of replication in P. falciparum   A variety of origin mapping approaches have enabled genome-wide identification of origins of replication (ORI) in model organisms, but…

Invited by the Ladoux/Mège team, Daniel J. Cohen (Princeton University) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: ‘Chiens de berger’ cellulaires: understanding and controlling collective cell behaviors Collective cell behaviors are fundamental to the coordinated migration, proliferation, and decision-making of cells in a multicellular organism. Imagine if we could program these behaviors, effectively ‘herding’ cells…
