Europe/Rome 2019-04-29 11:00:00 2019-04-29 12:00:00 Microbial motility and bacterial gene network dynamics In this talk I will present a panoramic view of the results of some of the most recent projects within my group. This includes: study of motility of the bacterium E. coli in a porous medium with different degrees of porosity; characterization of the motility patterns of the parasite responsible for Chagas' disease; and study of the dynamic behavior of the tryptophanase gene regulatory network in Escherichia coli. I also plan to discuss possible future interdisciplinary research projects arising from the presented results. In this last regards, I'm very much interested in having the audience feedback.

Europe/Rome 2019-07-10 08:00:00 2019-07-12 22:00:00 Workshop on Locomotion and Navigation from Flies to Robots | (smr 3309) APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15 MAY 2019 Animals have to move in order to accomplish fundamental tasks such as foraging, migration and mating. They navigate the environment by collecting information through their senses, integrating the different inputs and generating a motor response that finally results in efficient search strategies. How do different organisms solve similar problems? Are there unifying principles? How are neural circuits organized so as to direct appropriate behavior? Can animal behavior provide useful inspiration for robotics applications? Can results from decision-making theory improve our understanding of animal behavior? How can physical and mathematical modeling contribute to advance our knowledge? This workshop aims at gathering physicists, biologists, neuroscientists, and computer scientists to offer their diverse perspectives and explore new directions for research and opportunities for collaborations in this rapidly developing field.   Invited Speakers include: Jelle ATEMA, Boston U.
