CABSCon3 – On advances in biotechnology takes place on Nov 9th, 2018 in the CSUF TSU Pavilion A. Registration is open now! It’s free but spots are limited. Poster presentations will be awarded! http://cabs.fullerton.edu/CABSCon3.asp @csuf @csufphysics @CSUF_Research

Congratulations to Danielle and Paris for their first paper together published online on “Small-scale displacement fluctuations of vesicles in fibroblasts”! Open access here: https://rdcu.be/5Q2U

Dr. Ahmed will be attending a workshop for the US/France iREU program in Toulouse, giving a seminar at the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique at the Universite Grenoble Alpes, and giving a conference presentation at the World Congress of Biomechanics in Dublin, Ireland.  Looking forward to all the fun science travels!

Maria and Karin join us from Troy High School for their summer internships!

Dr. Ahmed will attend the CSU Maker Convening 2018 at SSU. Let’s see if we can get some maker space going at CSUF!

Congrats to Paris for being admitted to pursue his Ph.D. at Princeton University!

Congrats on being admitted to the MIT Department of Physics!!

Have a great research trip this summer in Grenoble, France!  Paris will be working at the Institut Néel on strain-mediated coupling of a quantum-dot mechanical oscillator hybrid system, and Monika will be working at the Université Grenoble Alpes on mechanical waves in epithelial cell sheets. image from FIFA.com

Congratulations on being accepted to the Princeton Summer School on the Physics of Life! It’s going to be a blast!! image from states.jsa.org

We have a new paper that just appeared online! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006349518302121 Active Mechanics Reveal Molecular-Scale Force Kinetics in Living Oocytes   Open Access Abstract Active diffusion of intracellular components is emerging as an important process in cell biology. This process is mediated by complex assemblies of molecular motors and cytoskeletal filaments that drive force generation in the…
