In this talk, I will review a number of interdisciplinary collaborations in which I have been involved over the years that have coupled mathematical
modelling with experimental studies to try to advance our understanding of processes in biology and medicine. Examples will include somatic evolution in
tumours, collective cell movement in epithelial sheets, cell invasion in neural crest, and pattern formation in slime mold. These are examples where
verbal reasoning models are misleading and insufficient, while mathematical models can enhance our intuition.
Please note that this will be held at Tsuzuki Lecture Theatre, St Annes College, Oxford.
