Design principles of tissue organisation

We study how cells organise themselves into high-order structures through coordinated behaviours and generate robust tissue level patterns. We are interested in the dynamics of self-organisation and how signalling dictates their spatio-temporal regulation. Because these emergent phenomena have multiple layers of biological organisation at different scales, we develop quantitative frameworks to increase our integrated understanding of single-cell biology.
