Workshop 4: Mid consolidation phase II
1 week; target groups: all ESRs/partners and selected cooperation partners/interested third parties upon recommendation by participating beneficiaries and partner organisations
The workshop will build on the previous workshops. Besides enhancing cross-sectoral knowledge and skills, it will aim to train ESRs in complementary skills. Each of the following topics is relevant to InCeM's main goals and will be the subject of a half-day or full-day programme that includes a presentation of pertinent ESR results:
- Directing cell migration by mechanical factors.
- Cell signalling, actin self-organisation and directing cell polarity in cell migration.
- Tumour-cell migration: techniques and applications for visualising migration of individual cells in tumours and healthy tissue in living mice.
- Integrative models for cell motility: experiments and simulations.
- Impact of InCeM on medical and biotechnological challenges.
- Industrial implementation of basic research results.
- Mid-term school on complementary skills: The course will focus on making oral presentations, preparing a CV, writing grant proposals, writing for scientific journals, writing science for a non-scientific audience, and poster presentations.

Migrating primary keratinocyte with labelled cell adhesions. Based on a fine tuned regulation adhesion structures are continuously formed, modified and finally disassembled.
Primary keratinocytes apply traction forces upon migration. Using fluorescent fusion proteins (GFP-vinculin), adhesion structures can be visualized. Those sites are used by the cell for cell force transmission to the underlying substrate. In case those substrates are elastic, forces cause deformation fields that can be visualized using marker particles.
