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

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.

Subject: [Ssb_members] Biophysics Exit Seminar and Award
Message-ID: <CAAJCzyxQkELEVXSmVkqURjSn58tJFckZF19f_a-pcRofz5AXtg@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

We have three biophysics students graduating this quarter and would like to
invite you to celebrate with us. Please fill out the RSVP form included
below for their exit seminars and award!

Hope to see you there!

Best,
Navaira Sherwani


Dear all,

We are delighted to invite you to the Biophysics Graduate Program Exit
Seminar and Award Celebration honoring three of our graduating students:
Anne Marie Prentiss from the Pellecchia group, Amun Patel from the Palermo
group, and Sara Anbir from the Kuhlman group.

The event will take place on *Tuesday, May 19, from 12:30?2:00 PM*. During
the celebration, each student will give a 10-minute presentation on their
research, followed by brief remarks from their advisor highlighting the
student?s accomplishments, contributions, and plans.

Please join us in celebrating the achievements and hard work of our
students as they complete this important milestone in their academic
journey. As many of you know, the Biophysics Graduate Program is
still relatively new, and these students were among the early cohorts who
helped navigate and shape the program during its formative years. Their
accomplishments are therefore especially meaningful to our community.

Lunch will be provided. To help us plan accordingly,* please complete the
following RSVP form by Friday, May 15, 2026, at noon:*
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16tXz02tPGHezAA_KksHNyaX73MVsvmFBycqapmaWOGw/edit

Faculty are warmly encouraged to invite members of their research groups to
attend. If so, please include the total number of attendees in the RSVP
form.

We hope you will join us for this special occasion and help us recognize
and celebrate our graduating students.

Best regards,
Roya

Subject: Clarification: RSVP for Biophysics Exit Seminar (May 19)

Dear all,

A quick clarification regarding the previous email about the Biophysics
Graduate Program Exit Seminar and Award Celebration on Tuesday, May 19.

The RSVP form linked in that email is intended for faculty only. A separate
RSVP link for graduate students will be sent out shortly. Graduate students
are warmly encouraged to attend, and we look forward to celebrating our
graduating students together.

Apologies for any confusion, and thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
Navaira Sherwani
