This award supports research at Rice University to develop mathematical models and synthetic biology tools to study and control asymmetric cell division and pattern formation in cellular populations, which is important for development, tissue regeneration, and disease.
Description
The project aims to develop controllable models of cell differentiation and patterning using synthetic biology and multi-scale mathematical models. It focuses on asymmetric cell division, a vital process for human development and disease, using a synthetic biology approach combined with mathematical modeling to understand and control phenotypic differentiation mechanisms.
