New webinar series on cell migration
Posted by FocalPlane, on 29 May 2026
Following hot on the heels of our webinar series on quantitative plant image across scales, we are excited to announce a new quarterly webinar series on cell migration. Inspired by the successful Cell Migration series that kept scientists connected during the pandemic, this series will be hosted by Pablo J. Sáez and Valeria Venturini.
In our first webinar, we’ll hear talks from Juan Manuel García-Arcos (EPFL, Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research), Yohalie Kalukula (Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin) and Daniel J. Cohen (Princeton University). The webinar will take place on Thursday 11 June at 15:00 BST (UTC+1).
Juan Manuel García-Arcos (EPFL, Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research)
‘Mapping live membrane tension during cell migration using Flipper-TR FLIM’
Yohalie Kalukula (Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin)
‘The actin cortex acts as Mechanical Memory of past confinements’
Daniel J. Cohen (Princeton University)
‘What sheepherding can teach us about cell migration’
If you would like to speak at a future webinar, we’d love to hear from you – you can email us at focalplane@biologists.com or use our application form. We particularly encourage applications from early-career researchers. Our next event will be in September.
