| Modelling the spatial spread and evolutionary dynamics of heterogeneous cell
populations |
In this talk, mathematical models for the spatial spread and evolutionary dynamics of heterogeneous
cell populations will be considered. In these models, which are formulated as partial
differential equations, a continuous structuring variable captures intercellular heterogeneity in cell
proliferation and migration rates. Analytical and numerical results summarising the behaviour of
the solutions to the model equations will be presented, and the main biological insights generated
by these results will be discussed. |
