Behavioural phenotyping in single-celled organisms How do organisms move? How do they control their movement? In this talk we will take a closer look at the secret lives of single-celled microorganisms. We will reveal how stereotyped behaviours emerge and persist even at the microscale, focusing on different species of biological microswimmers that make use of tiny appendages called cilia to swim and navigate through fluids. Dr Kirsty Wan website Dr Wan's lab is studying the motility and dynamical behaviour of remarkable organelles called cilia and flagella. They work at the interface of physics, mathematics and biology, seeking to combine and develop novel interdisciplinary methods to provide new insight into the origins, control, and mutability of life at the microscale. Host: Dr Linus Schumacher Apr 22 2021 12.00 - 13.00 Behavioural phenotyping in single-celled organisms Seminar by Dr Kirsty Wan (Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter) Online - Blackboard Collaborate Platform
