Multicellular organisms are emergent thanks to patterns formed at multiple scales. These patterns are interconnected, and can also emerge due to patterns at smaller scales. In this talk, the patterns formed due to neighbor exchange of cells in dense tissues would be presented. These patterns are essential during embryogenesis (development of an organism from a fertilized egg), wound healing and diseases like cancer. The study of these patterns lie at intersection of active matter, turbulence, elasticity, plasticity, and physics of foams. It is everything, everywhere, all at once.
Program
11:30 – Doors open and lunch is served
12:00 – "Active reorganization of tissues: Phase transition of ideas from physics to biology" by Harish Jain (PhD Candidate, Condensed Matter Physics, Njord)
This event is open for all students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and everyone else who is interested in the topic. No registration needed.
About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies house every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here.
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long!
