DESCRIPTION:Prof. Olivier Pertz\, Institute of Cell Biology\, University o
 f Bern (CH)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMINAR\n\nAbstract:\nWe study spatio-temporal
  dynamics of signaling regulating cell morphogenesis and cell fate decisio
 n at the single cell level. A combination of live cell imaging\, microfabr
 ication\, computer vision\, and mathematical modelling allows us to dissec
 t novel properties of signaling networks\, not accessible using classic bi
 ochemica/cell biological techniques. I will discuss how robust directional
  cell migration emerges using a self-organized cytoskeletal module that pr
 ecisely positions signaling activities in single cells. I will also discus
 s how one can dissect signaling network architectures that produce dynamic
  signaling states regulating cell fate decisions such as proliferation or 
 differentiation. This offers new insight to reprogram cell fate decisions 
 at will.\n\nBio:\n\nEducation:\nUndergrad studies: Biology\, University of
