EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Mechanical Forces in Biology: From Force Production to Integrated Roles

12 - 15 July 2017, Heidelberg, Germany

Introduction

An important emphasis will be the combination of physics and computer modelling with molecular genetics and live-imaging in vitro or in vivo. The field is currently expanding rapidly and we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of this progress as well as aiming to capitalise on the opportunities for new collaborations.

Topics:
·       Force Generation
·       Mechanosensing
·       Mechanotransduction
·       Cellular Morphogenesis
·       Tissue Morphogenesis
