Communications at the University of Toronto’s Cell & Systems Biology Department

 
This past summer, I was a Communications Assistant at the Cell & Systems Biology Department where I wrote pieces about departmental research, events, and awards; filmed and edited short-form videos about graduate students’ research; and designed graphics for social media and TV screens around CSB buildings!

Are you curious about what @csbgu students do in her lab? 🤔 • Keep watching to learn about Angela and the plant she studies in the Goring lab (teeny tiny Arabidopsis!), why (to better understand how plants avoid self-fertilizing), and how (featuring a mini tour of our growth chambers). 🧪🌱 #LifeSciences #Arabidopsis #PlantScience #PlantBiology"

Cell & Systems Biology on Instagram: "🤯 For real? Watching tiny worms can tell us about neuroscience 🧠? C elegans are worms 🪱 that @csbgu student Ernest Liang records to see if there are changes in behaviour. He’s looking in the Calarco lab @uoft at how RNA-binding proteins can change which active proteins are present in nervous tissue. Changes in how nerves function are reflected by changes in worm behaviour. Check out the video for more on Ernest’s work! #neuroscience #LifeSciences #Celegans #RNABindingProtein #AlternativeSplicing"
Ernest Liang, a third-year PhD student at CSB, is using C. elegans worms to study how RNA-binding proteins affect the brain's function. By analyzing the worms' behavior and molecular biology, Ernest aims to understand how gene regulation and alternative splicing contribute to the development of different types of neurons. Join Ernest on his fascinating journey into the world of neuroscience and explore the intricate relationships between RNA-binding proteins, gene regulation, and the brain's function.

Cell & Systems Biology on Instagram: "🔬Meet Karan who’s studying the role of focal adhesions—or what she cleverly calls cells’ “grabby hands”—in cell migration! 💻Keep watching to learn about what focal adhesions are, the cool microscopes Karan uses to study them @uoft , and why they’re important in pathological conditions like cancer. @csbgu #LifeSciences #CellBiology #CancerBiology #FocalAdhesions #Microscopy"
Focal adhesions, or the 'grabby hands' of cells, play a crucial role in cell migration and are essential in understanding pathological conditions like cancer. Join Karan as she explores the world of focal adhesions, microscopes, and the implications of these cellular structures on our understanding of disease.
