SUMMARY:MBI Career Committee: Meet the Scientists Panel
DESCRIPTION:MBI Students and Post-Docs\, \nThe MBI career committee is holding the first of its “Meet the Scientists” panel on Thursday\, 10th November\, 3pm-4pm at L5 Meeting Room. The goal of the panel is to provide students and post-docs a better understanding of the academic career path through real life examples. This will be an opportunity to ask the scientists career questions you have been seeking answers for\, including\, what are the challenges they faced?\, how those were overcome?\, their present challenges etc!\nDo seize the opportunity and participate/attend the panel discussion. \nThe scientists participating in this first session: \n1) Prof. Michael Sheetz \n2) Prof. Cynthia He \n3) Prof. Yusuke Toyama \n— Career Committee\, MBI

SUMMARY:MBI PhD Oral Defense: Deconstructing Cell Motility in Fibrous Environment by Charolette Guetta
DESCRIPTION:Deconstructing cell motility in fibrous environment\nSpeaker: Charlotte GUETTA (Graduate Student\, MBI\, NUS)\nDate: 28 November 2016\, Monday\nTime: 4pm\nVenue: MBI\, T-lab\, level 5 seminar rooms \nSupervisor(s): Prof Michael Sheetz and Prof Benoit Ladoux \nAbstract\nIn vivo\, cells migrate on complex 3D fibrous matrices\, which has made investigation of the key molecular and physical mechanisms that drive cell migration difficult. Using reductionist approaches to recreate in vitro a simplified fibrous environment\, we investigate the molecular and mechanical properties of cell migrating along suspended fibronectin-coated nanofibers\, First\, we report that single cell migration under such conditions requires the formation and propagation of dynamic actin based fin-like protrusions. These protrusions propagate up to hundred micrometers from the cell body\, extending the leading edge and promoting highly persistent directional movement. The waves originate from one major adhesion site at leading end of the cell body\, which is linked through actomyosin contractility to another site at the back of the cell\, allowing force generation\, matrix deformation and cell translocation. Then\, we develop a novel system associating nanofibers and micropillars in order to probe the forces generated by cells. \n  \nALL EXCEPT PANEL ARE EXCUSED FOR CLOSE DOOR EXAMINATION
