In biological systems, pattern formation and morphogenesis emerge from mechanical forces, geometric constraints, and biochemical regulation. By integrating mathematical modeling, computational simulations, and biological experiments, researchers are revealing how living structures take shape. This mini-symposium gathers experts in applied mathematics, computational biology, and experimental biophysics to discuss cutting-edge progress in morphogenetic pattern formation.
Geometric constraints shape epithelial tissue dynamics. Growth-induced stresses and material properties produce digit-like features, while imaging and modeling—ranging from optimal transport to phase-field methods—quantify tissue evolution. These approaches link mechanical forces to cellular behavior. Morphological interfacial dynamics also highlight topological transitions, from nuclear reorganization to tumor growth.
Integrating theory and experimentation, this symposium spotlights interdisciplinary collaboration to address biological complexity. Talks will feature mathematical and computational tools—stochastic methods, differential equations, and more—for multiscale analysis. We aim to spark collaborations, inspire innovative strategies, and deepen our understanding of morphogenesis.
