Workshop on Cell Dynamics and

Mathematical Modeling

Münster, Germany | 27 Nov - 1 Dec 2023





Aims and Goals

Cell movement, cell division, cell differentiation
and cell communication using biochemical signals and biomechanical forces
are fundamental to the development of any embryo.
Experiments and measurements in biological model organisms
are based on basic physical laws and are thus
particularly amenable to mathematical thought experiments.

In the Topical Program "Cell Dynamics and Mathematical Modeling"
an intensive interaction of biology and mathematics is aimed at.
Biomechanical properties and dynamic shape changes of cells
are closely related to their respective state and cellular function.
This can be observed, among other things,
in the migration of primordial germ cells.
Such processes can be well described mathematically,
and the influence of important parameters can thus also be analyzed theoretically.
This research can also provide clues about the dynamics of wound healing and tumor growth,
because immune and cancer cells share many morphogenetic properties with embryonic cells.
