Confirmed Speakers:
The workshop will focus on the variety of
cytoskeleton structures that are exhibited in
cells, and how they are regulated.
This includes aspects of self-organization of
the actin and microtubule system, and the
cytoskeletal processes underpinning cell
motility, enodocytosis and cell division.
Understanding how complex functions such
as cell movement and cell division are
achieved through orchestration of the same
basic components, in particular actin and
microtubules, remains a key challenge. This
interdisciplinary workshop will examine the
breadth of cytoskeletal dynamics and
structures at both the experimental and
modelling perspectives.
