\u00abTissue Dynamics and Growth\u00bb will illustrate how coherent collective behaviour develops from the interaction of individual units (cells). Worth pointing out is the emergence of complexity in this context relies on the crosstalk of a hierarchy of spatiotemporal scales, from molecules to cells and to tissues (and back) that ultimately determine the biological function. <\/p>\n
In view of the above, the objective of this workshop is twofold. On the one hand, we aim at unveiling the “big picture” of these processes by combining the point of view of biologists and physicists, and on the other hand, we also aim at promoting collaborations between these groups. Thus, the workshop will not simply be a framework to present state-of-the-art research but, more importantly, a meeting point to discuss, collaborate, and learn about the state of the art on functional dynamics. <\/p>\n
The lecturers that will be participating in the workshop are: Xavier Trepat, from the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), based at the PCB; Enrique Mart\u00edn-Blanco, from the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (IBMB-CSIC), also based at PCB; Reza Farhadi Far, from the Max-Planck-Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, in Dresden (Germany); Nir Gov, from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot (Israel); Fran\u00e7ois Graner, from the Curie Institute, in Paris, (France); Michael Meyer-Hermann, from the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies, in Frankfurt (Germany); Jacques Prost, from the Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielles, in Paris (France), and Willy Supatto, from the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena (USA). <\/p>\n
The Theoretical and In Silico Modelling of Biological Systems Group (The.Si.M.Bio.Sys. GROUP) is part of the Co.S.Mo. LAB Unit (Computer Simulation & Modelling) based at the Barcelona Science Park.
