EMBL Insight Lecture “Cell division in focus – imaging an essential step of life”
by Dr. Jan Ellenberg – 20 November 2015
Have you ever wondered how scientists go about studying the basis of life, that is cell division? Find out and register now to attend the next EMBL Insight Lecture on 20 November 2015 virtually over the web.
The upcoming seminar entitled “Cell division in focus – imaging an essential step of life” will be given by Dr. Jan Ellenberg, who is Senior Scientist at EMBL Heidelberg and leads a research group on cell division and organisation. In the EMBL Insight Lecture, Jan Ellenberg will provide an introduction to mammalian cell biology, discuss how individual molecular building blocks create a functional cell and what we know about cell division. In the main part of his talk, Jan Ellenberg will discuss how genetic approaches can be combined with high-throughput light microscopy and computational modelling and analysis to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind cell divisions.
We would like to invite you and your students to attend the live streaming of this event. If you are interested in attending, please register via the “Registration” tab below.
More information on the concept behind EMBL Insight Lectures as well as videos on-demand of previous events may be found here.
