Title: Control of morphogenesis by the actin cortex in single cells and multicellular aggregates Abstract: The actin cortex is a thin meshwork of actin filaments, myosin motors and actin-binding proteins that lies below the membrane. Mechanical changes in the cortex play an essential role in morphogenesis of cells and tissues. I will present work examining the role of the cortex in cell division and the shape of multicellular aggregates. As they enter mitosis, cells undergo profound...

Title: Non-Compressible Haemorrhage - a problem for Engineers? Abstract: Exsanguination - literally bleeding to death - is the biggest cause of preventable trauma death, both in military and civilian settings. New solutions to this problem are required, and engineers will be a vital part of the progress towards such solutions. This talk will convey the problem to an engineering audience and help generate background understanding. About the speaker: Colonel Nigel Tai is the UK...

Title The ECM viscoelasticity controls tissue spatiotemporal dynamics Abstract The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate cellular processes during development, cancer and wound healing. Despite the universality of the ECM's viscoelasticity, how viscoelasticity affects tissue function is unknown. I will present our results where we show that the passive viscoelastic properties of the ECM regulate tissue architecture and patterning both during development and...

Centre for Chemical Research
The London Polymer Group gathers the community of polymer chemists, physicists and engineers interested in the design of macromolecular structures for a broad range of applications, from energy storage and electronics to therapeutics delivery and tissue engineering. The LPG annual meeting is an excellent opportunity to network and for early career researchers to present their work to our community. The 2025 annual LPG meeting will be hosted by Queen Mary University of London. We have an...

Title: Opportunities for Machine Learning to Accelerate Progress in Environmental Modelling Abstract: Modelling complex environmental systems, such as weather or oceans, is extremely challenging. Recent advances in machine learning and AI to automatically learn complex relationships from data have opened up opportunities for data-driven methodologies to make a meaningful contribution to environmental science and even play the role of a transformative technology within environmental...
