Multiscale Physics of Morphogenesis

Principal Investigator: Hervé Turlier

Presentation

Rapid advances in microscopy and single cell sequencing make it possible to study embryonic development with high spatiotemporal resolution. But extracting relevant biophysical information from these data remains a major challenge. We combine physical and numerical modeling to understand how cells self-organize to form an early embryo from a single egg. Our research aims to provide a computational platform to simulate embryogenesis from experimental data.It inaugurates a new field at the border between artificial intelligence, physics and biology, with possible spin-offs in reproductive and regenerative medicine.
