Dynamics of cellular metabolism, size, and motility — •Sander Tans — AMOLF, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

We use time-lapse microscopy to measure the dynamics of individual cells, focusing on a number of different questions. I will present work on the relation between fluctuations in the expression of catabolically active enzymes and cellular growth, how cells control their size in the presence of external and internal perturbations, and a surprising observation of motility in epithelial cells that is triggered by viral infection.
