Project
In the 2017/2018 winter term, the Integrative Research Institute of Life Sciences at HU Berlin invites the public to a colloquium on “Cell Communication.” The colloquium features lectures by high-profile international scientists who draw on their current research to present the entire spectrum of cell communication, from cells communicating across long distances to direct cell-to-cell communication. Communication can take place between cells of the same type as well as been different cell types of an organism or different organisms.
n addition to being able to participate in the discussions that are part of the lectures, young scientists are also given the opportunity for individual conversations to talk about and receive inspiration for their own research. The Schering Stiftung supports the “Cell Communication” colloquium during the 2017/18 winter term, since it addresses important aspects of basic research in the life sciences and encourages the cross-disciplinary networking of Berlin-based scientists.
The IRI Colloquium is aimed at students, doctoral candidates, researchers as well as the interested public. The lectures will be in English. Registration is not required.

The main focus of the group of Stanislav Shvartsman is on the quantitative analysis of development biology. The research work emphasizes close coupling between experiments, computations, and theory, and use Drosophila as an experimental system for model validation. The group is interested in the extent to which simple physicochemical principles can be discerned in complex biological systems, such as developing embryos. The overall goal is to establish truly predictive and multiscale models that connect multiple levels of description, from gene sequence to pattern formation and morphogenesis.
