Barcelona Collaboratorium
@barcelonacollaboratorium.com
The Barcelona Collaboratorium for Modelling & Predictive Biology is a joint initiative by @crg.eu & @embl.org, exploring biology's frontiers with computational and theoretical modeling to make systems predictable & controllable.
This morning we hosted David Brückner (Biozentrum, Univ. Basel) — chaired by James Sharpe (EMBL Barcelona) — for a tour of self-organization in development via dynamical systems + information theory, with concrete case studies on organoids and gastruloids.
