FocalPlane features… cell migration webinar 2
Posted by FocalPlane, on 3 September 2026
The second webinar in our new series on emergent models and quantitative analysis of cell migration will take place on Thursday 17 September from 15:00 to 16:30 BST (UTC+1). This webinar, hosted by Pablo J. Sáez and Valeria Venturini, focusses on new models for studying cell migration.
We’re excited to hear talks from Ankita Jha (National Institutes of Health, USA), Raphaël Clément (L’Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille (IBDM), France) and Katrina Velle (University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA).
