3 Quantitative modeling of signalling systems Kilsyth
Workshop Organisers – Stephan Kepinski and Alex Webb
Many areas of plant research have reached a point where quantitative modelling has become an
extremely useful, if not essential tool for gaining deeper understanding of the mechanisms and systems
underlying development. Befitting the diversity of questions in biology, there are a variety of mathematical
modelling approaches, which are suited to different problems and types of data. As a starting point for
discussion this workshop includes a range of talks, focused on questions in auxin and circadian biology,
in which mathematical modelling is specifically being used to gain new insight by generating hypotheses
and concepts to inform further work. The workshop will be an informal event with ample time for
discussion.
