DESCRIPTION:Prof Andrew Oates EPFL SV IBI\nThe segmentation clock is a mul
 ti-cellular patterning system of genetic oscillators thought to control th
 e rhythmic and sequential formation of the vertebrate embryo's body segmen
 ts. Individual oscillating cells are synchronized with their neighbors\, f
 orming a coherent wave pattern of gene expression. How these wave patterns
  arise and how they are regulated during embryogenesis is not clear. I wil
 l describe recent progress in understanding the behavior of individual cel
 ls as they slow their oscillations and differentiate during segmentation\,
  and discuss how this gives rise to the tissue-level wave patterns.\n\nBio
 :\nAndrew Oates received his Ph.D. at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Rese
 arch and the University of Melbourne. His postdoctoral time was at Princet
 on University and the University of Chicago in the lab of Robert Ho\, wher
 e his studies on the segmentation clock in zebrafish began in 1998. In 200
 3 he moved to Germany and started his group at the Max Planck Institute fo
 r Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden. In 2012 he accepted a po
 sition at University College London as Professor of vertebrate development
 al genetics and moved his group to the MRC-National Institute for Medical 
 Research at Mill Hill in London. From April 2015\, he became a member of t
 he Francis Crick Institute in London. In September 2016\, he joined EPFL a
 nd his group is in the process of moving to Lausanne.\n\n
