The speaker is Alejandro Torres-Sánchez from EML-Barcelona, invited by Barbara Bravi. His talk, 'Can one see a force? Inferring mechanics from images of cells and tissues', discusses how mechanical forces shaping cells and tissues can be inferred from images rather than measured directly. He presents EchoEx, a differentiable simulation framework built on JAX, illustrated by inferring the mechanics of the actin cable during zebrafish gastrulation from live imaging.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/biomathematics-seminar-alejandro-torres-sanchez-embl-barcelo-106231/", "official_url": "https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/216139/biomathematics-seminar-alejandro-torres-sanchez-embl-barcelona/", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-09T13:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-09T14:00:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Special Biomathematics Seminar – Yasmine Meroz (TAU)", "start": "2026-11-11T13:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-11T14:00:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "price": "", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/biology/biophysics"], "description": "A special biomathematics seminar, open to all and with seating first come first served. Yasmine Meroz of Tel Aviv University gives a talk titled 'Plants as a Window on Decentralized Computation and Mechanical Intelligence', presenting plants as a model system in which sensing, information processing and behavior emerge from growth and mechanics without a brain or nervous system. She shows how plants represent directional light as vectors, with perceptual distortions akin to optical illusions, and how climbing plants test the stiffness of supports before twining around them.

Professor Alejandra Tomas Catala, Professor of Cell Biology, will reveal how new technologies let us observe how trillions of cells sense and respond to signals that regulate metabolism, and what this could mean for tackling diseases such as diabetes. Her research uses advanced molecular cell biology and multiomic strategies to uncover new ways of modulating receptor signalling in metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and MASLD.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/seeing-signalling-cells-receptors-and-metabolism-74087/", "official_url": "https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/212297/seeing-signalling-cells-receptors-and-metabolism/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/bfbb2a39a95ceac00ce02c5074957dc9b06dfeba9f826106c5916ba769c588e8-2000.webp"}]}
