    Appl Math: Krishna Shrinivas on "The Many Phases of a Cell"

    McCormick-Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM)

    11:15 AM M416, Technological Institute

    EVENT DETAILS

    Title: The Many Phases of a Cell

    Speaker: Krishna Shrinivas, Northwestern University

    Abstract: Cells routinely orchestrate reactions, interactions, and transport amongst billions of biomolecules in a crowded environment to perform the diverse tasks that underpin life. Rather than occurring in a well-mixed milieu, biomolecules self-organize into dozens of membrane-lacking compartments called condensates that enable key biological functions and are aberrant in disease. I will introduce how phase transitions are emerging as a paradigm underlying condensate assembly and function in cells. During the talk, I will describe our efforts that bridge statistical physics, applied mathematics, and computation to predict emergent multiphase behavior in highly multicomponent soft materials and how such materials can be designed to perform information processing or computational tasks.
