It is part of the Imperial Inaugurals series, term-time lectures celebrating the university's newest Professors, and is open to all with advance registration, with a livestream also available. 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", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-18T17:30:00Z", "end": "2026-11-18T18:30:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Metabolism across scales: AI and the future of global health", "start": "2026-11-10T09:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-10T19:30:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "price": "Free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/ai"], "description": "A day-long launch of the CNRS-Imperial \"Antoine Lavoisier\" International Research Lab on Multiscale Metabolism, at Imperial College London's South Kensington Campus.
