Emmanuel Caussinus — Intermediate Physics for Drosophilist

Speaker :

Emmanuel Caussinus, Biozentrum, University of Basel

When :

Friday 21 October at 11am

Where :

C023 (RDC LR6 côté Centre Blaise Pascal)

Title :

Intermediate Physics for Drosophilist

Abstract :

The development of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) has been much better characterized morphologically and genetically than mechanically. However, Drosophila (like other major model organisms), is readily amenable to study the mechanics of development. In this seminar, I will discuss how we identified the major forces that contribute to tracheal primary branch remodeling (a well defined morphogenetic process in Drosophila embryos). Then, I will present a genetically encoded method for direct and fast depletion of target Green Fluorescent Protein fusions. I will discuss the opportunities this method provides to study the mechanics of Drosophila development.
