DESCRIPTION:MRC Come & See are delighted to announce Dr Nasreen Akhtar as
  the fourth speaker in our virtual public health keynote series. \n\nHow
  the cells inside our bodies assemble to form organs with recognizable s
 hapes and structures remains a fundamental question in biology. Explorin
 g the mechanisms of tissue architecture is of central importance both fo
 r controlling cancerous growth and in future technologies geared toward 
 organ replacement strategies.\n \nDr Nasreen Akhtar is a lecturer in Dev
 elopmental Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield\, and she uses th
 e mammary gland as a model system to understand how tissues form and rem
 odel through the action of mechanical forces and signalling from the ext
 racellular matrix. Her recent work has uncovered some unexpected roles f
 or the cytoskeletal regulator Rac1 in tissue remodelling and mammary gla
 nd reversibility in the post-lactating phase. She will also discuss how 
 the b1-integrin mechanoreceptor regulates tissue shape and polarity. Her
  lab uses a combination of in vivo genetic deletion mouse models\, prima
 ry mammary organoids and 3D imaging to address experimental questions. \
 n\nThe keynote is open to everybody\, both within and outside the Univer
 sity\, and will take place via Zoom. \n\n[https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e
