Title: Flow, Fluctuate and Freeze: Modeling Collective Cell Motion Using Soft Active Matter Abstract: Active or living materials are made out of agents that can move on their own, such as birds, fish, or artificial systems such as robots or active colloids. Cells are a core active material, and the two-dimensional tissues known as epithelial…

Title: Self-assembly Across Scales: From Cytoskeletal Dynamics to Evolution of Multicellularity Abstract: Self-assembly is a fundamental process that drives organization and function across biological systems, from molecular complexes to multicellular structures. In this talk, I will present our recent research on the role of self-assembly in actin cytoskeletal dynamics and the evolution of multicellularity. At…
