Big consequences of small molecules
Date: 08/12/2023 14:00
Place: K12 (Karlín)
We cordially invite you to our next SIAM SC seminar, which will be held in the K12 lecture room in Karlín. The talk will be given by Christoph Allolio, Ph.D. — a German-born scientist who joined MFF in 2020. Allolio leads the Lipid Membrane Remodeling group. This talk is an opportunity to learn about the intricacies of mathematical modeling on the cellular scale and to enjoy free pizza.
Abstract: Continuum models provide a simple and effective means of
describing materials at a scale accessible to our direct experience. They
can even be applied to explain the shape and microscopic deformations
of cells and subcellular structures. Inside the cell, the chemical
composition is highly heterogeneous and undergoes fluctuations and
driven processes, so the individual effects of, e.g., protein molecules
must be incorporated. I present methods developed to extract local
continuum properties from complex particle-based systems and
example applications from drug delivery to mitochondrial structure and
bacterial growth.
