A Randall Institute | CMCB joint symposium
05 February 2018
Organised by:
Rob Cross (Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, Warwick Medical School)
Mathias Gautel (Randall Institute, Kings College London)
Aims
| Work at our two institutions aims to understand the contributions of mechanical and mechanochemical mechanisms to cell function. To learn about each other's work and to facilitate progress, we have organised this one day joint Symposium in Molecular and Cellular Mechanobiology, with support from Wellcome and from the British Heart Foundation. We will discuss topics ranging from single molecule dynamics of molecular motors to the mechanics of muscle contraction and cell crawling. |
