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.</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><div class="" style="margin: 0cm; background-color: white;"><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><br class=""></div></div></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).</div></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><div dir="auto" class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Maria Ekiel-Jeżewska</font></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Maciej Lisicki</font></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Piotr Szymczak</font></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Panagiotis Theodorakis</font></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Marek Trippenbach</font></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div dir="auto" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
