IPLS Meet-Up March 2022

At termly IPLS Meet-ups researchers working at the interface of physics and biology at UCL and neighbouring institutions present their work. Meet-ups are a great opportunity to learn about the latest interdisciplinary research. 

This Meet-up is part of the Biophysics Week, organised by the Biophysical Society.

“Buffering of mechanical forces during pattern formation in animal development”

14:15-14:30 Giulia Celora (Pearce Lab)
“Characterising the biological response to cyclic hypoxia: insights from combining mathematical and in vitro modelling”

14:30-14:45 Auxtine Micalet (Moeendarbary Lab)
“The bio-mechanical signatures of 3D tumouroid models” 

14:45-15:00 Break

15:00-15:15 Windie Hoefs (Tapon and Charras Lab)
“The role of cell-cell junctions and ECM signalling on mechanosensitive protein translocation” 

15:15-15:30 Jonas Hartmann (Mayor Lab)

The meet-up will be hybrid- both in the LMCB Seminar Room and online. Please contact Jas Gill-Thind (j.gill-thind@ucl.ac.uk) if you do not already have the details to join the Zoom meeting.

For best functionality please ensure when you join the call you turn off your webcam and mute your microphone, to save bandwidth. If you have a question, please use the meeting Chat panel to let the host know, then switch on your camera and microphone on to ask the question when prompted.
