Organizers:
Andreas Deutsch, Roeland Merks and Vitaly Volpert
Scientific Topic:
This summer school will bring together 40 young researchers in the quantitative life sciences and teach them a range of mathematical approaches to analyse and model the biomechanics of tissues and the collective behaviour of cells. The workshop has been organized jointly with the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB), and fits into a series of annual workshops on mathematical biology organized with the EMS (http://www.esmtb.org/schools). The workshop is co-funded by the EMS, ESMTB, the Lorentz Center, and NDNS+
Workshop Format:
The school will focus on hands-on group work, with participants focusing on one out of five biological problems. The mornings will start with plenary lectures that will showcase exemplary stories that have combined mathematical modeling and experimental biology, as well as discuss a number of mathematical methods in-depth. The lectures will cover a range of topics, including, but not limited to: vertex-based models, cellular automata models, cellular Potts modeling, partial-differential equations, and hybrid individual-based and continuum approaches.
