In this webinar, you'll hear from experts who are bridging the gap between biology and physics to look at forces inside the cell at the mitotic spindle, at the cell membrane during cell migration, and between cells within a tissue during embryonic morphogenesis. During the webinar, you will: - Hear from our panel of experts about how force applies to specific aspects of cell function. - Learn how the role of forces can be considered when approaching a biological problem. - Have the opportunity to ask questions of our panelists in real time.

Cells are pushed, pulled, and squeezed as they undergo biological processes such as cell division, migration, and morphogenetic events, and exciting recent work is identifying the role such forces play in governing cell function. While the mechanisms governing the dynamics of physical forces within the cell have not been exhaustively described, what is clear is that from the molecular to the organismal level force is a key aspect of biological function. In this webinar, we'll hear from experts who are bridging the gap between biology and physics to look at forces inside the cell at the mitotic spindle (Tarun Kapoor), at the cell membrane during cell migration (Gaudenz Danuser), and between cells within a tissue during embryonic morphogenesis (Jennifer Zallen).
