Congratulations to Albert Adhya, a 4th-year Chemistry graduate student co-mentored by Dr. Jimmy Hougland (Chemistry) and Dr. Heidi Hehnly (Biology), who gave an invited talk today in the Physics Soft Matter seminar at Syracuse University. His work examines how the Golgi apparatus organizes during development.
Albert was invited by Dr. Mirna Skanata, and we're grateful to her and the Physics Soft Matter community for hosting him and for the opportunity to share our work.
Great work, Albert!

Representative images of wild-type (vim +/+) and vimentin-null (vim -/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mEF) on glass slides. Wild-type and vimentin-null mEFs show similar distributions of F-actin stress fibers and paxillin focal adhesions. Confocal images show vimentin (yellow), actin (blue), paxillin (green) and the nucleus (pink). Scale bar, 10 μm.
