Workshop Abstract
A fundamental question in Biology, Biotechnology and Medicine is how the interplay between the genome and the physical environment drives pattern formation and morphogenesis. As well as experimental observations, the transformation of the genetic information into a spatial-temporal expression pattern is studied by mathematical models together with relevant methods for the analysis of real data, such as geometric statistics and inverse problems. It is our goal to bring together developmental biologists and mathematicians in order to promote a multi-disciplinary approach, by utilizing mathematical modelling, analysis, numerical simulation and visualization in oder to validate models based on real experimental data. Major challenges exist in spanning quantitatively the enormous scale gaps that link observational molecular genetics to cell dynamics, cell dynamics to organ function and organ function to organism behaviour. From such perspectives, phyllotaxis is a good model system to investigate. Modelling and simulation related to in vivo and in vitro experiments will have many implications for research in biology and medicine. Final scope of the research would be the development of significant mathematical models suitable for understanding the basic biological issues that may lead to diagnosis, prevention and cure of malfunctioning.
