SUMMARY:MBI WIS: Aspire to Inspire before you Expire
DESCRIPTION:About Dr Laxmi Iyer\nLaxmi Iyer is the Editor and Co-founder of Biotechin.Asia\, a virtual newsroom that offer simplified\, curated\, fact-based news for all stakeholders in the biotech and healthcare ecosystem. She moved to Singapore from Mumbai in 2008 to do her PhD in Virology from Nanyang Technological University and graduated in 2014. \nDuring her PhD she worked on the process of assembly of respiratory syncytial virus in macrophages and epithelial cells and has several papers to her credit. She has been a science enthusiast all her life and was finally able to give some direction to it\, when she co-founded her present company serendipitously. Rather than being the ultimate consumer of internet\, she and a couple of friends decided to create good content and aimed to become the social glue of the biotech community- a one-stop solution for anyone who is looking for information related to Biotech academia\, industry and startups. \nIn her talk\, “Aspire to Inspire before you Expire” she will be speaking about how her startup came about! She hopes to encourage people to take risks and find their true calling while choosing their careers! Apart from working on her startup full time\, she is an avid instagrammer\, food blogger\, and is passionate about photography!

SUMMARY:MBI SPSS: Biophysical Model of Pattern Formation on the Cellular Cortex
DESCRIPTION:by Tatsuo Shibata \nFrom: RIKEN Quantitative Biology Center\nHosted by: Fumio Motegi & Sasha Bershadsky\nLocation: Level 5 T-Lab Building Seminar Room\nTime: 4pm – 5pm\nDate: 17th May 2016 \nThe plasma membrane is the central place that perceives and maintains signals from its surroundings\, and processes them to organize cellular behaviors. The phosphoinositide metabolism takes place on the plasma membrane and controls many cell biological processes. The distribution of phosphoinositide components can sometimes undergo spontaneous symmetry breaking and exhibit non-uniformity in space and time even in the absence of external asymmetries. The spatiotemporal non-uniform behaviors give rise to self-organization of excitability\, oscillation\, traveling waves and stationary spots.  Previous reports have suggested that kinases and phosphatases for phosphoinositide components play pivotal roles on the symmetry breaking. Such an intrinsic self-organization leads to the emergence of parameter that can be specified by external signals\, such as the migration direction controlled by the external chemical gradient. \n

SUMMARY:MBI SPSS: Large Collection of Quantitative Data on Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Embryo and its Applications to Data-driven Modeling of Embryogenesis
DESCRIPTION:by Shuichi Onami \nFrom: RIKEN Quantitative Biology Center\nHosted by: Fumio Motegi & Sasha Bershadsky \nQuantitative data on spatiotemporal dynamics of embryo provide crucial information for understanding the mechanism of development. Combinations of live imaging and computational image-processing technologies have produced a large amount and a wide variety of quantitative dynamics data on embryogenesis. In this seminar\, I will introduce our large collection of quantitative data on nuclear division dynamics in early C. elegans embryos. These data were obtained by combining four-dimensional microscopy and computational image processing under gene perturbations of each of all essential embryonic genes. We developed a method to elucidate the sequence of phenotype expression by computing correlations between phenotypic characters. We also developed a method to infer genes involved in the phenotype expression network by computing outliers in the correlations. I would like to discuss how quantitative dynamics data provide new opportunities in biology. I would also like to introduce our SSBD database (http://ssbd.qbic.riken.jp) for storing and sharing quantitative biological dynamics data. This database is developed and maintained as a part of the Life Science Database Integration Project in Japan to sustainably store and share quantitative biological dynamics data that are created by the Japanese science community and beyond.
