SUMMARY:Analysis and perturbation of cell behaviours controlling gastrulat
 ion in the chick embryo - Cornelis Jan Weijer (University of Dundee)

DESCRIPTION:Gastrulation is an essential process in the development of ani
 mals\, including humans. It is characterized by highly coordinated tissue 
 movements and deformations at the scale of the embryo to set up the basic 
 body plan. We have been able to quantitatively analyze the detailed cell b
 ehaviours that underly the process of gastrulation in the chick embryo\, u
 sing a combination of lightsheet microscopy-based live imaging\, large-sca
 le computational data analysis and modelling. I will describe ongoing expe
 rimental work to understand the signals that coordinate critical cell and 
 tissue behaviours and show how they can be manipulated to achieve differen
 t modes of gastrulation.
