Conferència: The forces that drive cells

El dijous 21 de maig a les 17.30, dins del cicle de Conferències de Biofísica del grau en enginyeria física, el  Dr. Xavier Trepat de l'Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya (IBEC), farà la conferència titulada "The forces that drive cells" a l'aula A4-001 del Campus Nord de la UPC.

Abstract
The ability of eukaryotic cells to migrate within living organisms underlies a wide range of phenomena in health and disease. When properly regulated, cell migration enables morphogenesis, host defense and tissue healing. When regulation fails, however, cell migration mediates devastating pathologies such as cancer, vascular disease and chronic inflammation. Our research focuses on understanding the fundamental biophysical mechanisms underlying migration both at the single cell level and at the tissue level.
