Veranstaltungsort: FIAS Lecture Hall / online

Unsere nächste Ausgabe der "CMMS Talks" findet am Mittwoch, den 10. Januar 2024 um 14.00 Uhr im FIAS-Hörsaal statt. Sprechen wird Prof. Dr. Berta Verd Fernandez (Universität Oxford)

Der Vortrag wird in englischer Sprache gehalten, daher sind die folgenden Informationen ebenfalls Englisch. 

Abstract:

Mathematical modelling has long been used to understand embryological phenomena, and perhaps nowhere more successfully than in the study of pattern formation. In this talk I will briefly review some of my favourite models on pattern formation focusing on the insight that they’ve brought about, and paying special attention to the assumptions and abstractions that were made constructing them. One prevailing assumption in our models of pattern formation to date is that the role of cell movements is not generative and can be safely ignored, even though molecular patterns are often established in tissues undergoing morphogenesis where extensive cell rearrangements are taking place. I will argue that in order to understand the formation of molecular patterns and importantly, their evolvability, moving forward we should take the role of cell movements into account explicitly. I will finish outlining a new methodology for reverse-engineering GRNs driving pattern formation in developing tissues with extensive cell movements.
