An in-person science seminar titled "Co-opting Cells for Mechanosensation", taking place in room G8 at New Hunt's House. It is a Randall Seminar in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics Seminar Series, hosted by King's College London's Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine. Speaker Dr Federica Mangione of King's College London will discuss her research on mechanosensation — how touch, pressure and vibration become electrical signals — presenting recent findings that support a new, multicellular model of mechanosensation at the body surface, based on her work establishing the Drosophila epidermis as a system for studying this sense.
