Explore the intersection of mathematics and cell biology in this 57-minute prize lecture that examines how mathematical models illuminate cellular structure, movement, and collective behavior. Discover the rich landscape of mathematical biology through research spanning local and nonlocal partial differential equation models that describe internal cellular structure and intercellular interactions. Learn about reaction-diffusion systems associated with cell motility and examine recent experimental validation of theoretical models. Gain insights into how mathematical approaches can motivate new problems and enhance understanding of complex biological systems, particularly in cell biology, through examples from years of collaborative research with colleagues and trainees.
