[Soft-matter] Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar on 19 May 2023

[Maciej Lisicki]

Dear Soft Matter & Complex Systems Colleagues and Friends,

On Friday 19 May 2023 at 9:30 AM at the UW Faculty of Physics (Pasteura 5, Warsaw; room 1.40) we are hosting a seminar during which

Alexander Chamolly (Institut Pasteur, Paris)

will give a talk

The mechanics of a bird embryo

Abstract
For decades, biologists have sought to understand the development of an embryo in terms of genes, proteins and biochemistry. Recently however there has been a revolution in the field with the introduction of physical ideas. In this seminar I will talk about the early bird embryo, how we can use a mechanical model to understand how it performs reliably the developmental stage of gastrulation, how we measure its rheological properties as a soft matter system, and how we can manipulate it to further understand the impact of mechanics on genetic expression and cell fate.

We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).
