The EMBL Insight Lecture “Rhythms of Life – how cellular clocks function in development and disease” will take place on the EMBL Campus in Heidelberg, Germany and will be accessible via live stream to schools across the globe.
Join us for this exciting event and become part of an international community of participating schools. For more information and how to register, please read on.
Clocks of the cells
Cellular clocks, or oscillators, are very abundant in nature. A well-known example is the circadian day-night clock that runs with a period of about 24 hours. In this EMBL Insight Lecture, Dr. Alexander Aulehla will introduce a different set of cellular clocks that operate with periods in the range of only 1-2 hours and which play important roles during embryonic development and in stem cells. These cellular clocks can, in addition, become highly coordinated between neighboring cells, which leads to very unexpected and fascinating collective cellular dynamics.
Dr. Alexander Aulehla will explain how we use modern microscopes to make these clock rhythms visible and how we address the underlying basic rules and functions of cellular rhythms.
