DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sebastian Fürthauer\nhosted by Jérémie Palacci\nAbs
 tract: Living cells move\, deform and divide. The engine of these behavior
 s is the cytoskeleton\, a highly crosslinked network of polymer filaments 
 and molecular scale motors that use chemical energy to do work. We develop
  a theory that predicts how the micro-scale properties of molecular motors
  and crosslinks tune the networks emergent material properties and generat
 e predictable\, and possibly controllable\, behaviors. I will present how 
 this theory is constructed\, and discuss its implications for cytoskeletal
  networks in vitro and in vivo\, highlighting how it has helped to quantit
 atively understand motor driven microtubule fluxes in a system made from X
 CTK2 motors and stabilized microtubules\, and how it resolved long-standin
 g puzzles about the motion of microtubules in spindles. I will further dis
 cuss how the same theoretical framework can be used to understand contract
 ility of actomyosin networks.
