High-resolution quantitative measurements of the oligomeric organization of membrane proteins in native membranes, and how they change under different conditions, are indispensable for understanding membrane protein biology. Her lab reported a single-molecule technique, Native-nanoBleach, to determine the oligomeric distribution of membrane proteins from native membranes at ~10 nm spatial resolution and at endogenous levels of expression. They applied Native-nanoBleach to quantify the oligomerization status of structurally and functionally diverse membrane proteins. Her team has now extended this general technique to organellar membrane proteins and membrane contact sites in the context of neurodegeneration and rare developmental diseases. This general experimental pipeline will usher in a new era of studying membrane protein organization in their native membrane environments under various physiological and clinical conditions.<br>\r\n \r\n<div><strong>Bio</strong>: Moitrayee Bhattacharyya received her Ph.D. in Computational Biophysics at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, where she used molecular dynamics simulations and network theory to study allosteric communication in protein complexes. She transitioned into experimental biology during her postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley, as a Human Frontiers Science Program Long Term Fellow. Here, she used structural biology and single-molecule microscopy to study the molecular mechanism of regulation in a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that is critical for learning and memory. She started her lab at Yale University in the summer of 2020. One focus is to develop broad-impact technological platforms that enable high-resolution studies of membrane proteins in native membranes, in her lab and beyond. Her lab also applies these technologies in conjunction with established biophysical and structural methods to understand the molecular mechanisms of membrane-localized signaling in chronic pain and neurodegenerative diseases.</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-08T14:43:44", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-11T09:28:30", "link_label": "", "link_url": "https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/moitrayee-bhattacharyya/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Conference room SV.1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://www.epfl.ch/schools/sv/it/sv-rooms/#SV1717", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Moitrayee Bhattacharyya, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology, Yale University School of Medicine ", "organizer": "Institute of Bioengineering, EPFL", "contact": "Prof. Florian Schueder", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120702/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70824, "title": "MoRAT: Mathematics of Randomized linear Algebra Techniques - Summer School 2026", "slug": "morat-mathematics-of-randomized-linear-algebra-t-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/morat-mathematics-of-randomized-linear-algebra-t-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32231/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32231/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32231/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-08-31", "end_date": "2026-09-04", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<p>This summer school, organized by seven PhD students from EPFL and ETH Zurich, brings together leading researchers and postgraduate students.

We uncovered a new mechanism for coincidence detection in the Drosophila head direction network. To maintain an accurate sense of direction, head direction neurons that signal orientation during navigation must learn to anchor to relevant external sensory cues in novel environments. Yet the synaptic mechanism for this form of unsupervised learning is unknown in any organism. In Drosophila, GABAergic visual inputs converge onto head direction neurons, and these inhibitory synapses change strength with experience to learn the relationship between visual landmarks and head direction. However, how coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity is detected across this inhibitory synapse is not understood. We discovered that neurons which release the monoamine octopamine close a feedback loop that conveys postsynaptic head direction activity onto presynaptic terminals of visual inputs. This octopamine pathway is required for anchoring the head direction network to visual cues. Furthermore, pairing structured activation of octopamine neurons with a visual cue is sufficient to drive rapid plasticity, even without postsynaptic head direction cell activity. Previous work has extensively characterized coincidence detection mechanisms at excitatory synapses; our work defines a novel mechanism for coincidence detection at an inhibitory synapse, in which postsynaptic activity is relayed via a neuromodulatory neuron onto presynaptic terminals.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:26:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:34:30", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/yvette-fisher", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Yvette Fisher, UC Berkeley", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: Pavan Ramdya", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119404/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/19/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/88/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70955, "title": "Bridging Biomolecular Simulations and Experiments Across Time and Length Scales: from Single Molecules to Entire Organelles", "slug": "bridging-biomolecular-simulations-and-experiments", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bridging-biomolecular-simulations-and-experiments", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32343/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32343/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32343/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-09-14", "end_date": "2026-09-17", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<p>You can apply to participate and find all the relevant information (speakers, abstracts, program,...) on the event website: <a href=\"https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/bridging-biomolecular-simulations-and-experiments-across-time-and-length-scales-from-single-molecules-to-entire-organelles-1493\">https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/bridging-biomolecular-simulations-and-experiments-across-time-and-length-scales-from-single-molecules-to-entire-organelles-1493</a>.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nRegistration is required to attend the full event, take part in the social activities and present a poster at the poster session (if any).

This is evident from the now-standard use of molecular dynamics simulations by molecular biologists and biophysicists, and the remarkable success of AlphaFold, which has convinced even the most skeptical of the critical role of these methods in contemporary biological research.<br>\r\nHowever, new challenges are emerging. It is increasingly apparent that to understand biomolecular function, we must move beyond studying isolated molecules. The focus is now shifting towards examining large, dynamic complexes of biomolecules within their complex native environments, complete with post-translational modifications. Embracing this complexity is crucial for understanding how biological functions and cellular structures emerge and adapt.<br>\r\nThis workshop will address existing and emerging frontiers, discussing both current challenges and the future of molecular simulations needed to meet them. It will gather simulation experts that have been actively developing methods that can increase simulation accuracy and extend their applicability range across multiple scales, as well as experimentalists performing advanced studies that can address outstanding challenges occurring at computationally accessible time and length scales. A main aim will be to discuss how to improve the accuracy of simulations, integrate simulations and cutting-edge experiments, and how to best take advantage of innovative enhanced sampling and machine learning-based approaches.<br>\r\nThe workshop will seize the opportunity to celebrate the outstanding scientific achievements of Gerhard Hummer, a prominent leader in the field, on his sixty’s birthday. Many of the participants that have already expressed their intention to attend and support the workshop or past or current theoretical and experimental scientist that have been either collaborators and co-authors, mentored by, or inspired by Gerhard’s ideas and expertise.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-26T15:39:35", "last_modification_date": "2026-01-26T16:44:37", "link_label": "Bridging Biomolecular Simulations and Experiments Across Time and Length Scales: from Single Molecul", "link_url": "https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/bridging-biomolecular-simulations-and-experiments-across-time-and-length-scales-from-single-molecules-to-entire-organelles-1493", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BCH 2103", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BCH%202103", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "<strong>Nicolae-Viorel Buchete</strong>, University College Dublin ; <strong>Pilar Cossio</strong>, Flatiron Institute ; <strong>Roberto Covino</strong>, Goethe University Frankfurt -- Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies ; <strong>Ville Kaila</strong>, Stockholm University ; <strong>Edina Rosta</strong>, University College London", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\"><strong>Cornelia Bujenita</strong></a>, CECAM Events and Operations Manager", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119449/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/442/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70949, "title": "Complex Fluids at Interfaces: Structure, Stability, and Molecular Effects", "slug": "complex-fluids-at-interfaces-structure-stability-a", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/complex-fluids-at-interfaces-structure-stability-a", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32337/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32337/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32337/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-17", "end_date": "2026-06-19", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<p>You can apply to participate and find all the relevant information (speakers, abstracts, program,...) on the event website: <a href=\"https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/complex-fluids-at-interfaces-structure-stability-and-molecular-effects-1492\">https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/complex-fluids-at-interfaces-structure-stability-and-molecular-effects-1492</a>.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nRegistration is required to attend the full event, take part in the social activities and present a poster at the poster session (if any).

These materials are challenging to characterize and predict [1–4], particularly when they incorporate multiple interfaces, as in colloidal suspensions [4], foams [5–7], or nanoporous membranes [8–10]. Many of these interfaces are micro- or nano-scale and evolve over short times, which can obscure them to observation and pose challenges to experimentalists [2–5, 11, 12]. This opens exciting opportunities for a strong partnership between the development of novel theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques.<br>\r\nProbing interfaces presents unique challenges compared to probing complex fluids in the bulk. The interfacial structure and constitutive behavior then depend on the composition of two fluids as well as the interfacial configuration [13, 14]. Translating this increased complexity to a computational framework involves developing reliable models describing molecular interactions near fluid-fluid or fluid-solid interfaces [15–17], as well as models for continuum stresses [18]. Molecular modeling is necessary to reveal the physics of chemically-complex structures [17], but is computationally expensive, and it can be challenging to identify the relevant physics to include [19]. Yet the interface also provides unique opportunities for control: in liquid crystals, for example, interfacial stresses can be transmitted through the bulk, leading to novel pattern formation [20] and optical materials exploiting interfacial control [21]. Finally, interfaces are prone to instabilities, which can make flows unpredictable, but opens opportunities to exploit unstable growth for spontaneous patterning.<br>\r\nTo underscore the present challenges, even for a “simple” Newtonian fluid, the presence of an interface may hinder understanding of flow mechanics. For example, mechanisms for contact during drop impact are still debated [22]: molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can clarify which effects dominate among interfacial instabilities, electrostatic charge, gas-kinetic effects, and other driving forces [22–26], in addition to liquid/surface chemistry [27, 28]. Diffusive processes at interfaces [29] and nanoscale membrane flows, where osmotic and phoretic effects are significant [11, 30], also require further development in MD or coarse-grained models.<br>\r\n <br>\r\n<strong>This workshop aims to foster exchanges around the following </strong><strong>broad questions:</strong>\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li>How do <strong>molecular phenomena</strong><strong> </strong>determine the <strong>structural properties and interfacial dynamics </strong>of complex fluid interfaces?</li>\r\n\t<li>How do we approach <strong>a rigorous, robust, and predictive upscaling </strong>between non-continuum computational approaches (e.g. MD, coarse-grained models), which are computationally costly, and large-scale systems? Can we extract universal quantities or concepts from MD to be used in a continuum model? Are these potential quantities intrinsic properties or do they depend on the flow configuration and hence require an ad hoc calibration for each flow situation?</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>How can emerging experimental and computational techniques inform our understanding of </strong><strong>interfacial instabilities in complex fluids? </strong>Can we account for instabilities arising from molecular and meso-scales in a macroscopic stability analysis?</li>\r\n\t<li>Is it possible to <strong>incorporate microscopic effects into macroscopic models </strong>which 'go beyond' the conventional Navier-Stokes-Fourier paradigm? For example, can effective viscosities adequately account for molecular effects, or can noise terms incorporate thermal fluctuations? Can these models be captured by extending existing computational approaches, or do they require entirely new frameworks?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>The list of confirmed speakers will be announced in February. </strong>In addition, a limited number of abstracts may be submitted for the poster session – submissions will open in February.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.3c03727\" target=\"_blank\">[1] L.
