On adaptation of complex traits and the information contained in cell shape
Speaker: Rob Jelier (KU Leuven)
Date: 23/01/2025
Time: 10:00 CEST
Host: James Sharpe (EMBL Barcelona)
My talk will touch on two rather distinct research topics in my lab. First, I will discuss how the adaption of complex traits depends on genetic background. Then we will switch to embryogenesis of C. elegans. How can we optimally leverage the information contained in confocal microscopy imaging of a developing animal system? We use spherical harmonics to systematically describe cell shapes and a biophysical simulation environment to infer the forces in a cellular system.
