[Embrio-list] EMBRIO Announcements

Tue Sep 3 15:41:43 EDT 2024

Dear EMBRIOphytes,
We’re getting the band back together next Monday, September 9th  3pm to kick off the fall semester seminar series (Zoom links and calendar invites were emailed to all members last month). The first-in-the-semester meeting is slated for a ‘State of the Institute’ presentation by Institute leadership with open discussion, including initial plans for “EMBRIO 2.0” regarding a full BII proposal to be submitted to NSF in February. We are anticipating guest speakers this semester on the following dates. Seminar titles and abstracts will be shared ahead of each talk.

If you missed the Emergence newsletter last week<https://www.purdue.edu/research/embrio/files/newsletters/embrio-news-update-08.29.2024.pdf>, there were several announcements and opportunities to check out. One new announcement for “The one and only Chicago Cytoskeleton meeting this fall: Sept. 20!”
Hi Everyone,

There are some changes to Chicago Cytoskeleton this year: there will be one Fall meeting Friday Sept. 20 (three weeks from today!), and one Spring meeting Friday April 25.

However, the rest will be similar to what you are used to!  Come join us at these two meetings for both the science and the social hour!   One additional difference is that these meetings will be slightly longer: the September meeting will have 7 speakers, and the April meeting will include the yearly poster session, along with the flash talk winners and keynote speaker.

Dr. Holly Goodson, University of Notre Dame
Contact: holly.v.goodson.1 at nd.edu<mailto:holly.v.goodson.1 at nd.edu>

Here is the lineup for Sept. 20:

Two flash talk winners:
• Madeline Lovejoy (Garcia-Mata lab, U. Toledo)
"SGEF, a RhoG-specific GEF, influences the morphology and collective migration of 3D epithelial cysts"

• Amruta Nayak (Glotzer lab, U. Chicago)
"Spatiotemporal Analysis of Requirement of Rap1 Activity in Early Embryonic Morphogenesis

Four faculty:
• Jenna Christensen (Northwestern)
"Using comparative genomics to explore dynein motor complex function"

• Sally Horne-Badovinac (U. Chicago)
 "Symmetry-breaking and initiation of rotational epithelial migration"

• Benjamin Perrin (Indiana University Indianapolis)
"Formin-dependent adhesion complexes at the base regulate actin assembly at stereocilia tips"

• Margaret Titus (U. Minnesota)
"Modulation of Filopodial Myosin Activity"

And one additional guest speaker!
• Silvia Jansen (Washington University St. Louis)
For more information, please see below.
We hope to see you Sept. 20!
