This research group around Christian Schmeiser concentrates on mathematical modelling, analysis and simulations for problems arising in Cell Biology.

Cytoskeleton dynamics: in a multiscale approach, descriptions on the molecular level and on the level of the whole cell are connected. Cooperation on the architecture and the dynamics of the lamellipodium with the Small group (IMBA)

Dynamics of cell ensembles: derivation and analysis of continuum models incorporating chemotaxis and/or cell-cell adhesion.
