Mathematical modeling of spatial evolution with applications to biomedical systems
- Natalia L. Komarova (University of California, San Diego)
9:20 AM - 10:10 AM
Evolutionary dynamics permeates life and life-like systems. Mathematical methods can be used to study evolutionary processes, such as selection, mutation, and drift, and to make sense of many phenomena in life sciences. Mass-action (or mean-field) evolutionary dynamics have been studied over the last 100 years, and produced an enormous wealth of useful results. In this talk, however, I will discuss how spatial interactions may change the laws of evolution, giving rise to a number of interesting and counterintuitive findings. I will discuss both explicitly spatial systems and metapopulations, and demonstrate a number of scaling laws that describe production and spread of disadvantageous, neutral, and advantageous mutants. Applications of these laws to bacterial growth and carcinogenesis will be discussed.

2:00 PM - 2:50 PM
Embryo patterning coordinates cell differentiation, tissue growth and morphogenesis. Understanding how precision is achieved despite the inherent developmental variabilities remains a challenge. Using early mammalian embryos as a model system, we aim to understand the design principle of multi-cellular organisms. Our studies show that feedbacks between cell fate, polarity and cell/tissue mechanics underlie the robustness in development. I will discuss our recent works.

Estimating tipping points in climate
- Susanne Ditlevsen (University of Copenhagen)
8:30 AM - 9:20 AM
In recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the risks of collapse or tipping points in a wide variety of complex systems, ranging from human medical conditions, pandemics, ecosystems to climate, finance and society. Even in systems where governing equations are known, such as the atmospheric flow, predictability is limited by the chaotic nature of the system and by the limited resolution in observations and computer simulations. These phenomena are naturally modelled by strongly nonlinear stochastic processes, which permit a statistical description. In this talk I will present methods to model and analyze data from such complex systems, with application to an important tipping element in the climate, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
9:20 AM An intro to shape spaces - from differential geometry to the drosophila testis - Benedikt Wirth (University of Münster)
An intro to shape spaces - from differential geometry to the drosophila testis
- Benedikt Wirth (University of Münster)
9:20 AM - 10:10 AM
Shape is a central principle in biology, linking form to function across scales. It determines ecological fit at organism level, assists physiological function at the organ level, and drives macroscopic form through growth and patterning at the (sub-)cellular level. Quantifying and comparing shape or morphology may therefore provide a powerful tool to understand phylo- and ontogenesis as well as biological organization in general. I will give an introduction into the mathematics of shape spaces and the theoretical and computational tools that allow to perform statistical and regression analyses of shapes, touching upon recent mathematical developments as well as applications.
