Modelling Collective Cell Migration

Explore the fascinating world of collective cell migration in this comprehensive lecture by Philip Maini from the University of Oxford. Delve into two distinct examples utilizing different modeling frameworks to understand this common phenomenon occurring in development, repair, and disease. Learn about cranial neural crest cell migration in early development through a multiscale agent-based model, discovering how the combination of theory and experiment leads to new biological insights. Examine cancer cell invasion using a partial differential equation approach, uncovering potential cooperation between different cell phenotypes. Gain valuable knowledge from Professor Maini, a distinguished Fellow of the Royal Society of London and member of numerous prestigious scientific academies, as he shares his expertise in mathematical biology and theoretical biology.
