Living matter in a complex environment and morphogenesis

Symposium

On November 26, 2024

patchwork

Through six talks by Laura Schaedel (Saarbrücken), Atef Asnacios, Marc Durand, Jonathan Fouchard (Paris), Angélique Stéphanou and Philippe Marmottant (Grenoble), we will consider the dynamics of living matter from the molecular scale of the cytoskeleton up to an entire organsim, in systems ranging from tumours to plants and with both experimental and numerical approaches.

The program of the day is detailed below. Please register as soon as possible if you're interested.

 

 

 

9am : cytoskeleton

 

  • Laura Schaedel, Physics dept, Univ Saarlandes
    Microtubules: fragile, yet resilient

  • Discussion–

 

10.45am : tissue

 

  • Jonathan Fouchard, Lab Biologie du Développement, Sorbonne Univ, Paris
