Description:
Processes such as the immune system response, cell division, developmental processes, and cell migration require the coordination of intra-cellular and inter-cellular processes from inside the cell to between cells, and across tissues. Defects manifest in pathological conditions such as cancer. Identifying key molecular players and their spatiotemporal dynamics requires a multiscale perspective, novel mathematical modeling, and data-driven inference. Ultimately, as a community we aim to identify the universal principles underpinning such cellular phenomena. In this minisymposium, we bring together emerging leaders and innovative early-career scientists who develop tools and models uncovering the mechanistic underpinnings of intra- and inter-cellular dynamics, and generate key insights using mathematical and statistical tools. The mini-symposium aims to bridge the gap between theoretical models and experimental data, fostering collaboration and innovation in the dynamic field of cellular research.
