Il giorno martedì 28 ottobre, alle ore 15.00, nella sala riunioni “Salvatore Rionero” del Dipartimento,

il prof. Tommaso LORENZI (Dipartimento di Scienze Matematiche “G.L.
Lagrange”, Politecnico di Torino)

terrà un seminario dal titolo:

“PDE models for the growth of heterogeneous cell populations: travelling fronts, sharp interfaces, and concentration phenomena”

Abstract: In this talk, PDE models for the growth of heterogeneous cell populations will be considered. Both models with discrete phenotype states, which consist of coupled systems of nonlinear PDEs, and models wherein the phenotype enters as a continuous structuring variable, which are formulated as non-local PDEs, will be examined. Focussing on scenarios where cells with different phenotypes are spatially segregated across invading fronts, travelling wave solutions that exhibit sharp interfaces, for the first class of models, and concentration phenomena, for the second class of models, will be studied.

Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
