Description
I started working with Béla as an undergraduate and remained in his lab for more than a decade, continuing to learn from him even until he left us. Together with John, he taught me how to analyse biological regulatory systems with both positive and negative feedback loops. The combination of these two can lead to fascinating dynamical behaviours. As Béla used to say: “it is bloody complicated” to understand what type of spatial and temporal pattern such combined systems might show. I will present biological examples showing how the combined effects of these two feedback types explain the observed behaviour.
