CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Benjamin Friedrich\nInstitute of Speaker: MPI-PKS Dres
 den\nTopics:\nBiologie\, Informatik\n Location:\n  Name: TUD (Willersbau A
 317)\n  Street:   \n  City:  \n  Phone: \n  Fax: \nDescription: We study h
 ow single cells swim and respond to sensory cues. Sperm cells can steer th
 eir swimming path in response to chemical cues released by the egg. I pres
 ent a theory explaining how a simple feedback mechanisms aligns the helica
 l swimming paths of these cells with the direction of a concentration grad
 ient. In a second part\, I will show how purely mechanical forces stabiliz
 e the swimming gait of a swimming alga (Chlamydomonas). This alga swims li
 ke a breast-swimmer with two flagella that must keep a common rhythm. Thes
 e theories of biological motility control are confirmed by experiments per
 formed by our experimental collaboration partners. We developed novel imag
 e and data analysis algorithms to analyze these experiments\, following in
 spiration by theory.<br /> Benjamin Friedrich is a theoretical physicist\,
  who is curious on \"how biological systems work\". He studied mathematics
  in Leipzig and Cambridge\, before he moved to biological physics. For his
  PhD with Frank Jülicher on \"How sperm find the egg\"\, he was awarded t
 he Otto-Hahn medal of the Max Planck society. After a post-doc with Sam Sa
 fran in Israel\, he is now an independent researcher at the Max Planck Ins
 titute for the Physics of Complex Systems.
