Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar

RACHEL GREEN, JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

Work in the Green lab is centered on the ribosome, and can be roughly divided into four general project areas. The longest-standing research area concerns the interactions of eubacterial ribosomes and release factors. The goal of these projects is to understand the mechanism of action of release factors on the ribosome.

PAUL FRANÇOIS, MCGILL UNIVERSITY

The François lab is interested in the theoretical aspects of evolution, real and simulated. They have developed tools to evolve models of "gene networks" in silico, performing predefined biological functions. They have applied and predicted structure of networks for systems ranging from genetic oscillators, biochemical adaptation to development and immune system.

SALLY HORNE-BADOVINAC, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

The Horne-Badovinac lab uses genetic, cell biological and quantitative live imaging approaches to investigate how organs take on their unique shapes during development. Currently, they seek to understand how collective cell migration and basement membrane remodeling shape the fly egg.

Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar

HESPER REGO, YALE UNIVERSITY

The Rego lab studies the role that metabolic variability plays in the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the microbe that causes tuberculosis.

Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar

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.
