Collective cell migration and pattern formation are entwined phenomena of immense fascination. Development, tissue repair and disease progression all involve coordination between cell movements, growth, and intercellular signalling processes.
The aim of this workshop is to draw together state of the art techniques within (i) the biological mechanisms that underpin processes of collective cell migration and pattern formation, (ii) the mathematical and computational models used to study these phenomena, and (iii) the analytical tools that can be used to unlock core properties contained within these models.

Application deadline: 15st of April 2026. Travel expences, board and accomodation covered.

We are pleased to announce the “Mathematical Approaches to Spatial Biology” symposium, which will take place at Durham University, UK, from Tuesday 8 September to Friday 11 September 2026.
This four-day symposium will focus on the theory and applications of mathematical models for biological systems in which space and structure play a fundamental role. Topics will range from PDEs and agent-based models to multiscale and mean-field approaches, bringing together theoretical and applied mathematicians interested in understanding and validating biological mechanisms in complex spatiotemporal systems.
The list of confirmed speakers and the preliminary programme are available on the workshop website:
