OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Self-organized patterning in complex biological fluids
Understanding how living systems dynamically self-organise across spatial and temporal scales is a fundamental problem in biology; from the study of embryo development to regulation of cellular physiology. In this talk, I will discuss how we can use mathematical modelling to uncover the role of microscale physical interactions in cellular self-organisation. I will illustrate this by presenting two seemingly unrelated problems: environmental-driven compartmentalisation of the intracellular space; and self-organisation during collective migration of multicellular communities. Our results reveal hidden connections between these two processes hinting at the general role that chemical regulation of physical interactions plays in controlling self-organisation across scales in living matter
