SystemsX.ch invites you to follow the next live-streaming session of The Lecture Series, which will take place on
Monday, March 08, 2010 (details below)
The guest invited is Thomas Lecuit (picture).
Thomas Lecuit is the group leader of the "Cell polarity and tissue morphogenesis group" at The Developmental Biology Institute of Marseilles (IBDML)
The mechanics of tissue morphogenesis
"Cells and tissues display remarkable robustness, i.e. the ability to keep a polarized or vectorial organization, important for their physiological role. Meanwhile epithelia show tremendous plasticity, during embryonic development and organ regeneration, i.e. the capacity to adapt to intrinsic or extrinsic signals or perturbations. We are interested in deciphering basic principles of cell and tissue organization and dynamics with a special focus on the problem of how robustness and plasticity are jointly regulated."

Thomas Lecuit is a guest speaker invited by Prof. Ernst Hafen, the Principal Investigator of the RTD project WingX.
The SystemsX.ch Lecture Series
The SystemsX.ch Lectures take place about every two/three months. They are given by an international renowned Systems Biology researcher, who is chosen and invited by a Principal Investigator of one of the Research, Technology and Development Projects of SystemsX.ch. The lecture is directed to a broader audience, beyond the Systems Biology community.
