STEFANO DI TALIA, DUKE UNIVERSITY
The Di Talia laboratory develops live imaging and computational methods to probe the dynamics of the signaling pathways that control cell division during development and regeneration. They aim to uncover the dynamical principles that ensure that embryonic development and regeneration are regulated in a reliable manner.
ADAM DEUTSCHBAUER, LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LABORATORY
Adam Deutschbauer has a background in Microbial systems biology. As part of the Virtual Institute of Microbial Stress and Survival, he develops next-generation tools for microbial functional genomics. As the Biotechnology Component Deputy Director, he helps drive the development of experimental and computational approaches to develop models of microbial metabolism, gene regulation, and signal transduction.
CLEMENS CABERNARD, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
How developing organisms generate and maintain cells with specialized functions and fates is a fundamental problem in biology. The Cabernard lab is investigating asymmetric cell division (ACD), a process that generates cellular diversity. They are using Drosophila melanogaster neuroblasts, the neural stem cells in the fly as a model to study the molecular cell biology and mechanics of asymmetric stem cell division.
The Ünal lab studies the principles that control the nuclear and cytoplasmic integrity of gametes. They are interested in understanding the principles and regulation of meiotic differentiation.
AMY GLADFELTER, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
The Gladfelter lab is interested in how cells are organized in time and space. They study how cytoplasm is spatially patterned and how cells sense their own shape. They also investigate how timing in the cell division cycle can be highly variable yet still accurate. For their work, we combine quantitative live cell microscopy and computational, genetic and biochemical approaches in fungal and mammalian cells.
CHRISTINE STABELL BENN, BANDIM HEALTH PROJECT, STATENS SERUM INSTITUT
Christine Stabell Benn has found in population-based epidemiological studies in one of the world’s poorest countries, Guinea-Bissau, that vaccines not only protect against the target infection, they also affect the susceptibility to other infections.
ANNELISE BARRON, DEPARTMENT OF BIOENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Barron's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Christine Stabell Benn's seminar, "Time to change a paradigm: non-specific effects of vaccines", to be held Thursday, May 23rd.
CHRIS DOE, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
Dr. Doe and his lab group study the assembly of the nervous system in the fruit fly Drosophila. They are interested in how neuronal diversity is generated, how it is used to establish neuronal circuits, and how circuits generate diverse locomotor behaviors.
JULIA KALTSCHMIDT, DEPARTMENT OF NEUROSURGERY
Attend Dr. Kaltschmidt's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Chris Doe's seminar, "Development and function of a celestial navigation circuit in Drosophila", to be held Thursday, May 2nd.
