Description
The development of multicellular organisms is a dynamic process in which cells divide, rearrange, and interpret molecular signals to adopt specific cell fates. This results in the emergence of gene expression patterns, that later on give raise to different body parts and organs. We still lack full understanding of how these patterns could emerge in precise and reproducible way during embryonic development. In this talk I will present theoretical and computational strategies to study pattern formation in the developing spinal cord.
