About the Lecture Course |
|
|---|---|
The course will focus on the biophysical and biochemical origins of cell behaviours during tissue morphogenesis. How is the genetic information that drives morphogenesis organized in space and time? How does this information shape subcellular behaviors that underlie force generation and transmission? How are these local behaviors integrated at the tissue level? |
|
Attempts to address these questions have motivated the development of new interdisciplinary approaches, which combine modelling, quantitative imaging, biochemical and genetic methods.
The goals of this school are to presenting our current understanding on these questions, to emphasize emerging concepts and approaches and to highlight future challenges. To this end, the course will gather experts and students from biology, physics and mathematics.

| This 5-days course will cover three essential aspects: | ||
| • Biochemical circuits and genetic bases of tissue morphogenesis; | ||
| • Physical approaches (quantitative microscopy, mechanical measurements) | ||
| • Modelling of cell and tissue morphogenesis | ||
|
A variety of topics will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the roles of morphogen gradients (precision and stability) and transcriptional dynamics in developmental patterning, and mechanics of tissue morphogenesis.
