UCL Cancer Institute Multidisciplinary Seminar Series

Professor Guillaume Charras' general interest lies in the biophysics of living cells both at the single cell and tissue level. At the single cell level, his research aims to understand the biological and physical mechanisms that power cell motility within three-dimensional environments such as connective tissue. Other research looks at the biophysics and biology of cell protrusions known as blebs.

Dr Alan Lowe creates and develops quantitative imaging and measurement tools and uses them to determine how biological machines and systems function. The major goal of his research is to identify the principles and mechanisms by which an ensemble of molecules or cells generate particular dynamic temporal or spatial patterns, and how complex functions emerge from that organisation.

The London Centre for Nanotechnology is a UK-based multidisciplinary enterprise operating at the forefront of science and technology. Our purpose is to solve global problems in information processing, healthcare, energy and environment through the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Founded in 2003, the LCN is a joint venture between University College London and Imperial College London and based at the Bloomsbury and South Kensington sites.
