For those interested in applying for publicly-offered projects in our Transformative (A) project, we will be organizing a briefing session via Zoom at 4PM on 5th Aug (Mon) to explain the overall research direction. Please register in advance at our HP. multicellular-mechanics.org
The symposium was a great success, with lively discussions about ongoing projects and future collaboration. We hope to continue such a stimulating symposium in the years to come. #MechanoBioKyoto
Other speakers including Erina Kuranaga, Motohiro Fujiwara, Yuuta Moriyama, Biphasha Dey, Mineko Kengaku, Yuji Mizotani, Miyo Terao Morita, and Li-Kun Phng also gave great talks.
Jou Chan from MBI, NUS presented development of mouse oocyte and follicle cells and showcased unique techniques to manipulate surface mechanics and tissue pressure.
Other speakers including Akatsuki Kimura, Kazuhiro Aoki, Kyogo Kawaguchi, Takafumi Ichikawa, Yu-Chiun Wang, Rieko Asai, Makito Miyazaki, and Satoru Okuda also gave impressive talks. #MechanoBioKyoto
Chwee Teck Lim gave an overview of his achievement on mechanical control of collective cell migration using cutting-edge technologies of micro-fabrication. #MechanoBioKyoto
Ewa Paluch from the University of Cambridge was the keynote speaker for our symposium, presenting her groundbreaking work on the mechanics of the cell cortex. #MechanoBioKyoto
Our symposium on 'Mechanical control of biological self-organization' started yesterday. All participants enjoyed impressive platform talks and active discussion. #MechanoBioKyoto
2024年6月17-18日に京都で、国際学術集会「Mechanical Control of Biological Self-organization」を開催します。本集会は発生細胞生物学・生体工学・数理学を牽引する研究者を国内外から招待し、細胞・組織・器官の形態形成における力学の役割を議論します。
