Invité par l'équipe Ladoux/Mège, Prisca Liberali (Senior Group Leader, Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research -FMI) donnera le 28 février un séminaire intitulé : Design principles of tissue organization   SELF-ORGANISATION DURING COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR Robust experimental model systems have recently been developed from adult or induced pluripotent stem cells that self-organise into organoid structures in vitro. In particular,…

Invitée par Paul Conduit, Susana Godinho (Barts Cancer Institute, London, UK) donnera un séminaire sur le thème : Microtubules as mediators of stress responses and repair Research Cancer cells often contain extra centrosomes. The centrosome is the main microtubule-organizing centre in animal cells, an essential component of the cytoskeleton. In normal cells, centrosome number is tightly regulated,…

Invité par Sandra Duharcourt, Antoine Hocher (MRC, London Institute of Medical Sciences) donnera le 6 janvier un séminaire IJM sur le thème : Histones, beyond eukaryotes   Research Our goal is to understand how what is happening inside the cell biases the incidence of mutations, affects their persistence, and, ultimately, shapes patterns of natural variation within and between…

Invité par l'équipe Grange/Geigl, Garrett Hellenthal (UCL Division of Biosciences, London) donnera le 20 décembre un séminaire sur le thème : Leveraging DNA to infer intermixing among human populations and signatures of adaptation   Research summary I am currently a Sir Henry Dale Fellow (jointly funded by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society) working at the UCL…

Arnau Sebé-Pedrós, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, will give an IJM seminar entitled " Diversity, Regulation and Evolution of cell types in early Metazoa" on Friday , December 16th at 11:45 am in the François Jacob seminar room.   Comparative regulatory genomics We study the evolution of cell type programs and associated genome regulation (transcription factors, histone…

Richard Dorell (Institut de Biologie de l’Ecole Normale Supérieure (IBENS) donnera le 25 novembre un séminaire sur le thème : Towards a Horizontal View of Algal Evolution   Research interests Horizontal evolution of microalgae in the global ocean “Life did not take over the world by combat, but by networking”- Lynn Margulis The most dramatic evolutionary transition across the…

Invité par Roshan Kumar Vijendravarma (Courtier Lab), Jan Clemens (European Neuroscience Institute, University Medical Center, Göttingen, Germany) donnera le 22 novembre un séminaire intitulé : Neural computations underlying social behavior in Drosophila    Neural Computation and Behavior Our brain is constantly confronted with sensory information, yet it manages to filter out relevant bits to produce appropriate behavior. Our lab is…

Invitée par René-Marc Mège, Carien M. Niessen (Department Cell Biology of the Skin and CECAD Cologne, University Hospital Cologne, University of Cologne) donnera le mardi 15 novembre un séminaire sur le thème : Biomechanical regulation of cell fate and position in epithelial barrier morphogenesis, renewal and disease   Our research: How epithelia coordinate cell and tissue structure with…

Invité par Jérôme Collignon, Takashi Hiiragi (Hubrecht Institute, Utrecht, The Netherlands /ASHBi Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan) donnera un séminaire sur le thème : Multicellular coordination in context   The Hiiragi group studies robustness in development and aims to understand the design principle of self-organising multi-cellular systems. Self-organisation is a defining feature of living systems and entails complex interplay…

Invité par Benoit Ladoux, Ada Cavalcanti (Max Planck Institute for Medical Research) donnera un séminaire sur le thème Mechanical regulation of receptor-mediated cell adhesion   Growth Factor Mechanobiology Group leader: Priv. Doz. Dr. Dr. E. Ada Cavalcanti-Adam Mechanical forces exerted by cells during adhesion and migration are adjusted through molecular interactions of receptors at the cell membrane. Adhesive…
