Math Biology Seminar: Clinton Durney

  • Date: 03/29/2017
  • Time: 13:45
Lecturer(s):
Clinton Durney, UBC
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

A Proposed Mechanochemical Process for Drosophila Dorsal Closure

Description: 

In this talk, I will give an overview of the Drosophila Dorsal Closure phenomenon in which a developing embryo is able to close an opening in the epidermis. I will present recent experimental work and prior modelling efforts. Both of these will inform the model that I am developing which proposes a biochemical signal coupled to tissue dynamics to successfully complete the process. This talk will emphasize the work in progress nature of the seminar.
