SUMMARY:Modelling collective cell dynamics using active matter physics - J

DESCRIPTION:The motion of epithelial cells is key to many life processes f
 rom morphogenesis to wound healing. Despite its importance\, and considera
 ble recent attention\, much remains to be understood about collective cell
  motility\, both in terms of elucidating the underlying biochemistry\, and
  at a more coarse-grained level of identifying the primary forces involved
 .\nIn this talk I will describe recent work modelling confluent cell layer
 s and tissues using phase field and hydrodynamic models and discuss the ex
 tent to which approaches based on active matter physics are proving useful
  in interpreting tissue dynamics and patterning.
