CYTO U and the International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry Announce Their Latest Webinar:

The Signaling Networks Regulating Morphological Heterogeneity

Presented by

Chris Bakal, PhD

Dynamical Cell Systems Team Leader, Division of Cancer Biology

Institute of Cancer Research, London, United Kingdom

March 20, 2014

12:00 pm EDT (4:00 pm GMT)
Register: http://cytou.peachnewmedia.com
Cost: FREE

The Dynamical Cell Systems Team is using high-throughput functional genomic approaches in tandem with integrative computational technologies to understand the architecture and dynamics of signal transduction networks. He studies the biological switches that cause cells to change shape, become cancerous and spread around the body. By understanding how these switches work, scientists may one day find a way to control them through drugs or other therapies. Cells are able to assume a wide variety of complex shapes in order to carry out different roles and Dr Bakal's team examines the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underpin these shape changes. Their research covers how both environmental and genetic variation affects cell shape. Ultimately, Dr Bakal aims to understand how normal and cancerous cells can adopt different shapes and why metastatic cancer develops in some people but not others.

CYTO U Webinar Recordings
A recording of this webinar will be posted online at CYTO U within 24-48 hours after the live event for free viewing by all.  You may also want to watch the recordings of CYTO U's last two webinars:  Using CellProfiler for Biological Image Analysis presented by Mark-Anthony Bray and Integrating Flow Cytometry and Single-Cell Transcriptomics presented by Mario Roederer at CYTO U.

CYTO University
CYTO University is an online educational resource created by ISAC for its members and the wider cytometry community. In addition to free webinars, CYTO U presents recorded courses and tutorials from the CYTO Conference, and interactive online courses on a variety of cytometry topics. These are available at no cost to ISAC members and for a nominal charge for non-members. Webinars are free for all.
