DESCRIPTION:Prof. Morgan Huse\, Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center (M
 SKCC)\, New York City\, NY (USA)\nWEEKLY EPFL BIOE TALKS SERIES\n\nAbout t
 he speaker and the talk:\nDr. Huse spent much of his childhood in East Asi
 a before completing high school in Los Angeles. After graduating from Harv
 ard University with a degree in Biochemical Sciences\, he carried out doct
 oral work at the Rockefeller University\, where he studied with John Kuriy
 an\, Tom Muir\, and Joan Massagué.  His thesis research focused on the p
 hosphoregulation of the type I TGFβ receptor. After receiving his Ph.D.\,
  Dr. Huse worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Marc Davis’ lab at Stanford
  University\, where he studied signal transduction and polarized effector 
 responses in T cells. He took a position as assistant member in the Memori
 al Sloane Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Immunology Program in 2007. Sinc
 e then\, his lab has focused on the structure and function of immune cell-
 cell interactions\, particularly on how cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natura
 l killer cells destroy malignant cancer cells. His work has touched upon k
 ey signaling pathways required for the elaboration of specific interfacial
  structures and the importance of mechanical force as an avenue for commun
 ication between immune cells. Today’s seminar will describe two ways in 
 which the mechanical properties of the cytotoxic immune synapse control it
 s function.\n\n\nZoom link (with one-time registration for the whole serie
