Matteo Barberis, assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam, will discuss “Systems Biology Strategies to Decipher Design Principles of Cell Cycle Dynamics” in the CBC/RBC Seminar, 4 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Beadle Center.

The talk is free and open to the public.

Barberis specializes in synthetic systems biology and nuclear organization. He is part of the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences at the University of Amsterdam.

Barberis’ research integrates experimental and computational approaches to identify design principles underlying cellular organization. His research group works to unravel molecular switches responsible for temporal dynamics in cell cycle control. They also develop multi-scale frameworks and tools to integrate, via modeling techniques, layers of cellular regulation with a particular emphasis on the interface between cell cycle and physiology.
