On Thursday, September 10, 2026, the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest and the Interdisciplinary School of Doctoral Studies of UB invite you to the seminar ‘Dynamics of FtsZ clusters in the Z-ring of E. coli’, delivered by Prof Mario Feingold, from Ben-Gurion University.
The event will take place starting with 10:00 AM at the Rectorate of the University of Bucharest, in the Board of Directors Room (Șos. Panduri no. 90, 1st floor), and is open to the entire UB academic community: students from all degree levels, faculty, and researchers interested in the announced topics.
The abstract of the presentation is available here.
Prof. Mario Feingold completed his PhD in Physics at Technion in 1986. Between 1986 and 1991, he was a Weizmann postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago (in the group of L.P. Kadanoff), at the Lawrence Berkely Labs and the Cavendish Labs at Cambridge University. Since 1991, he has been on the faculty of Ben Gurion University’s Department of Physics. His interests center on the study of bacterial division using a combination of various microscopy approaches (including Optical Tweezers) with quantitative image analysis to understand the structure and dynamics of the Z-ring, mechanisms leading to variability in bacterial populations and the dynamics of nucleoid segregation in bacterial cells.
