Föreläsningar och seminarier Crossing Borders-seminarium med Jing Yan, Yale University
"Single-cell Imaging of Microbial Communities across Different Spatial and Temporal Scales"
Väkommen till ett Crossing Border-seminarium med Jing Yan, Yale University, USA, torsdagen den 10 september 2026 i Biomedicum, Solna.
Abstract
Biofilm is an important lifestyle of bacteria where bacterial cells collectively form surface-associated aggregates embedded in a polymeric matrix they secrete. Important in industry and medicine, biofilms also represent a unique form of growing active matter with unique physical and material properties.
Using live imaging of Vibrio cholerae biofilms at single-cell resolution, Jing Yan investigates how bacterial cells interact with each other and their environment to create complex, ordered communities. His work reveals how physical forces, gene expression heterogeneity, and matrix mechanics shape biofilm architecture across scales.
