X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4>Shankar Mukherji\, PhD</h4><p>Assistant P
 rofessor\, Department of Physics</p><p>WashU</p><p>Talk title: Fluctuations
  and order in systems-level organelle biogenesis</p><p>Abstract: Perhaps th
 e defining feature of the eukaryotic cell is its organization into membrane
 -bound compartments known as organelles. While the processes underlying the
  biogenesis of individual organelles are often well-known\, the precision w
 ith which individual cells exert quantitative control over individual organ
 elle properties\, such as number and size\, and coordinate these properties
  at systems-scale across the cell’s many different types of organelles rema
 in frontier problems in cell biology and biophysics. Using a combination of
  theory and quantitative fluorescence imaging\, I will describe our recent 
 efforts to show that cells exhibit substantial limits to the precision with
  which they can control organelle numbers and sizes\, but despite this appe
 ar to collectively organize organelle biogenesis into specific “modes” to a
 chieve homeostasis in cell size and growth rate.</p><p>Host: Dr. Susan Dutc
