NCCR special seminar series: Pr. Timm Schroeder

23.02.2018 13:00 – 15:00

Prof. Timm Schroeder, from ETH Zürich, Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, will present his very nice and innovative work on single cell image analysis and lineage tracking. He will give a talk entitled: “Long-term single-cell quantification: new tools for old questions”.

Despite intensive research, surprisingly many long-standing questions in stem cell research remain disputed. One major reason is the fact that we usually analyze only populations of cells – rather than individual cells – and at very few time points of an experiment – rather than continuously. We therefore develop imaging systems and software to image, segment and track cells long-term, and to quantify e.g. divisional history, position, interaction, and protein expression or activity of all individual cells over many generations. Dedicated software, machine learning and computational modeling enable data acquisition, curation and analysis. Custom-made microfluidics devices improve cell observation, dynamic manipulation and molecular analysis. The resulting continuous single-cell data is used for analyzing the dynamics, interplay and functions of signaling pathway and transcription factor networks in controlling hematopoietic, pluripotent, skeletal and neural stem cell fate decisions.

An “informal” discussion and working session on cell tracking, lineage, segmentation and analysis will be organised following the talk. Please contact Dimitri Moreau (missing email) if you would like to join.
