DESCRIPTION:Living tissues are characterized by an intrinsically mechano-c
 hemical interplay of active physical forces and complex biochemical signal
 ling pathways. Either type of feature alone can give rise to complex emerg
 ent phenomena at the tissue scale\, for example mechanically driven flocki
 ng or rigidity transitions\, or chemically driven reaction-diffusion insta
 bilities. A first key question is thus how to quantitatively assess the co
 ntribution of these different cues to the large-scale dynamics of biologic
 al materials in cases where multiple phenomena are present or even coupled
 . A second question is how are cells mechano-chemically interact in a comp
 lex external environment as a function of boundary conditions. &nbsp\;In t
 his talk\, I will present a few examples that we have worked on in the con
 text of collective cell migration to start answering these questions.
