This course is directed at graduate students with suitable backgrounds, young researchers and academics in mathematics, bioengineering, systems biology and biology.
Pattern formation and emergence of structure in interacting cell systems are not only of principal theoretical interest but are an important means to reveal information on underlying functional mechanisms, especially when mutant populations show defined changes in structure in comparison to wild-type populations or when structures first start to arise, like in early develoment.
This course focuses on structure formation and function in cellular systems by means of modeling, mathematical analysis and simulations.
During this course we will address, among others, the classical model by Turing on diffusion driven instabilities and a variety of pattern forming processes due to cell motility amongst many other subjects.
The approach presented will be directed to mathematicians, bioengineers, systems biologists and biologists.
