Since their discovery, our understanding of cells has evolved from simple structures to complex systems of organelles, proteins, and genetic material that interact in sophisticated ways. However, our understanding is far from complete with many cellular processes, such as signal transduction, metabolic networks and inter-cellular communication remaining a mystery. So, What are we still missing in our understanding of the living cell?
To help us break it all down, for the third episode of ‘Science With A View‘ we’re joined by two leading experts, Alfonso Martínez-Arias from the Department of Medicine and Life Science, Pompeu Fabra University (MELIS-UPF) and Vikas Trivedi from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory – Barcelona (EMBL Barcelona), for a thought-provoking conversation on where the field stands today. We’ll dive into the power of multidisciplinary approaches, challenge the current research paradigms, and wrestle with the deeper question: What does it truly mean to understand a cell?
Plus, we’ll turn our focus to an equally important issue: what makes for great research supervision? Our guests share their personal insights and experiences, and we ask the PRBB community for their take on this transversal topic.
Tune in to this episode of ‘Science With A View’ to get to know more about what do we know – and what we don’t – about living cells.
