8th edition – Cell Biology and Cancer

Building Forms: How Cells Create Patterns

The 8^th Cell Biology and Cancer course will explore how biological forms emerge across scales, from intracellular organization to tissues and whole organisms. It will focus on key cellular processes such as cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular trafficking, and how these processes shape complex cellular structures. The course will also address pattern formation, morphogenesis and collective cell behaviors at the tissue level, in the context of mechanobiology and developmental biology. 

Application deadline: September 10^th, 2026
