Friday Seminars

Visiting from The Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA.

Talk Title: “Of kinetochores and centrosomes: mechanism(s) of mitotic spindle assembly.”

Alexey Khodjakov to talk about the quantification/modeling of the mitotic spindle (collaboration with Alex Mogilner).

“We are completing characterization of chromosome behavior during prometaphase in human cells. This work involves good microscopy, machine-learning classification of chromosome trajectories, as well as computational modeling of mitotic spindle assembly.”

Anup Challa is Principal Investigator of Modeling Adverse Drug Reactions in Embryos (MADRE), a collaboration among Vanderbilt, Harvard, and Northwestern that leverages big clinical and drug-specific data to clarify drug
