Computational approaches to quantify tissue organization

Speaker

Dr Luis Maria Escudero Cuadrado joined Prof. Juan Modolell's lab at the Centro de Biología Molecular "Severo Ochoa" (CBMSO, CSIC) in September 1998, to make his PhD in the development of the peripheral nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster. In October 2004, Luis moved to the UK to work at the Medical Research Council, Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC-LMB, Cambridge) under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Freeman. There, he studied the mechanisms that control cell shape and epithelial organization during the development of Drosophila. At the same time, he started a new investigation line in collaboration with Dr. Madan Babu (MRC-LMB). They developed a new method to analyse objectively any epithelium using computerized image analysis.

In February 2010, Luis joined the Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla (IBiS) in the lab space of Dr. Alberto Pascual. This allowed him to start his independent research career and focus in the analysis of biological and biomedical images using Computational Biology methods. Now, Luis' group is focused in the understanding of the organization of living tissues during development and disease. They have formed the “Complex Organization of Living Matter” laboratory at the Cell Biology Department of Seville University and the Instituto de Biomedicina de Sevilla.
