Funded Activity Summary

Mathematical modelling of the dynamics of multi-layered biological tissues. The project intends to develop a mathematical model of the basic mechanisms that determine the self-organisation of cells into complex tissues during the development of the embryo. Tissue function requires a non-trivial tissue architecture often composed of multiple cell layers which exhibit a remarkable capacity for renewal and defect correction. A cardinal part of embryonic development involves robust shaping of multi-layered tissue morphologies. The project plans to use mathematical models to determine how complex, three-dimensional structures arise from adaptive multicellular biomechanical interactions. It plans to develop a novel computational modelling framework to represent and analyse such systems, which may be applicable to a wide range of problems where tissue mechanics is a key factor such as bone remodelling and wound healing.
