From ssb_members at lists.ucr.edu Fri May 8 13:58:13 2026 From: ssb_members at lists.ucr.edu (Navaira Sherwani via SSB_members) Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 13:58:13 -0700 Subject: [Bphyfaculty] [Ssb_members] Colloquium ICDMB May 13 2026.pdf Message-ID: Dear all, I would like to encourage you to attend Mathematics Colloquium talk next Wednesday, May 13th. Dr. Mogilner is one of the leading mathematical biologists and applied mathematicians. Sincerely, Mark Alber _________________________________________________________________ This Colloquium talk is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Center for Data-driven Modeling in Biology. Prof. Alex Mogilner Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Biology New York University, NYC May 13th, Wednesday, 2026 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. Skye Hall 284 TITLE: Deciphering self-assembly of mitotic spindle ABSTRACT: Mitotic spindle, a remarkable molecular machine, self-assembles to segregate chromosomes at the onset of cell division. Spindle assembles in phase, one of the earliest and least understood stages of mitosis. We used high-resolution 3D measurements of movements and deformations of chromosomes and spindle in prometaphase coupled with computational modeling to decipher force balances and speed and accuracy of integration of chromosomes into the spindle. I will describe how mathematical models are built from microscopy data and demonstrate that rapid stochastic interactions within the spindle leads to rapid, precise and robust self-assembly of the spindle. Bio. Alex Mogilner is Professor of Mathematics and Biology at New York University, with appointments in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Biology. His research lies at the interface of applied mathematics, biophysics, and cell biology, with current interests including cell motility, mitosis, actin dynamics, and galvanotaxis. He develops mathematical and computational models to understand how cells move, divide, and organize their internal structures, working closely with experimental cell biologists. Before joining NYU, he was Professor of Mathematics and Neurobiology at the University of California, Davis, and earlier held a Research Fellowship in the Program in Mathematics and Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. He has also served on the editorial boards of numerous journals, including Cell, Biophysical Journal, Journal of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Current Biology, and Bulletin of Mathematical Biology. __________________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
