Presentation
Objectives
The general objective of this course is to understand the role of the cytoskeleton in intracellular trafficking and cell migration at different levels: molecular, cellular and in the living organism. The course will provide introductions to the main cytoskeleton networks as well as to the basic mechanisms of trafficking and migration regulation. It will cover general mechanisms though which intracellular trafficking controls cell migration and invasion with a more particular focus on the role of cytoskeleton-based organelles in these basic cellular functions. Lecturers and participants will be both physicists and biologists. Conferences will be in English. Each day will include four-five one hour lectures plus participant presentations.
Personal Work
Each participant will give a 10 minute oral presentation of his/her work (maximum 3 power point slides) and he/she will have 5 minutes to answer questions.
ECTS Information
Successful completion of the course can count toward training hours (3ECTS or 20 hours) for French graduate schools such as "Complexité du Vivant" and "Frontières du Vivant" or 3 ECTS at Master program UPMC at Paris 6.
