EECS Colloquium: Controlling structure in living cells: from cellular size control systems to CellCAD

306 (HP Auditorium) Soda Hall
  • Wallace Marshall, Center for Cellular Construction, UCSF
Living cells are complex self-organizing machines in which different biochemical reactions are compartmentalized in membrane-enclosed chambers. Biotechnology, especially metabolic engineering, has long sought to harness the living cell as a microscopic chemical factory, but almost all the effort to date has been directed at manipulating the chemistry of the cell, and the physical structure of the...
