Séminaire IJM – Clare Buckley – 13/05/2022

Invitée par Vanessa Ribes, Clare Buckley (Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, UK) donnera le 13 mai en salle François Jacob un séminaire sur le thème :

Building and Breaking the Neural Tube

Her lab studies the fundamental cell biology of neural tube development using optogenetic and advanced live imaging approaches in vivo, within in the zebrafish hindbrain. They aim to uncover the mechanisms that coordinate apico-basal polarisation and morphogenesis during secondary-like neurulation. In addition, they use in vitro multicellular mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) culture to compare the mechanisms of de novo polarisation in an alternate, non-neural epithelial context. Through this work, they hope to unravel parallel mechanisms of epithelial tube development and disease, with relevance to secondary neural tube defects, polarity-related epithelial diseases such as carcinoma and bioengineering.
