Modelling decision making in multicellular tissues.

Abstract

During the development of multicellular organisms, cells need to make decisions about their fate by integrating information from their neighbours, their surroundings, and their history. I will describe mathematical models of cellular decision making that reveal how cells can adopt different strategies depending on their setting, allowing them to make either rapid coordinated decisions or more measured decisions that provide more scope for the generation of cellular diversity.
