Featured Speakers
Michael Sheetz, Mechanobiology Institute
National University of Singapore
The morphology of cells, organs and whole organisms is determined by the generation of forces on the immediate environment, which is either extracellular matrix or adjacent cells. The Sheetz Lab is engaged in studies to understand the detailed molecular mechanisms involved in a variety of phenomena from cancer metastasis to brain function.Learn more about Prof Sheetz’s research.
Shin’ichi Ishiwata, Department of Physics
Waseda University, Japan
Self-Excited Oscillation Phenomena (SPOC) and Physiological Significance of Muscle Contraction System, Elucidation of the principle of operation of molecular machines by single molecule microscopic analysis, Elucidation of action and control mechanism by force lurking in cell division kinetics. Learn more about Prof Ishiwata’s research.
