2016 Workshop – Tissue mechanics in morphogenesis: Focus on theoretical modeling – May 9-13, 2016, Paris
Posted by Pierre-François Lenne, on 9 October 2015
We are happy to announce the forthcoming workshop on « Tissue mechanics in morphogenesis: Focus on theoretical modeling ». This is an informal workshop open to anyone, theorist or experimentalist, who is developing or is using theoretical models to understand tissue mechanics during morphogenesis.
How tissues acquire and maintain their shape is a crucial question at the crossroad between developmental biology and physics, which requires the joint efforts of experimentalists and theorists. Theoretical modeling plays different roles in this context: it guides experiments, helps data analysis and provides conceptual and predictive frameworks, which are instrumental to understand tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis.
Several models have been developed over the past years, some are published, and some others are in preparation.
This workshop aims at encouraging:
– discussions between researchers in the field
– exchange of published and unpublished information
– discussion of regime of applicability of theoretical frameworks
– link between different scales: molecule, cell, tissue
– studies of dynamical processes in morphogenesis
– new approaches to data analysis
– improvement of existing models
– development of new theory/models
– new collaborations
Date and place : May 9-13, 2016, Université Paris 7 Diderot
