Parameter estimation for models of collective cell spreading
In this work we apply approximate Bayesian computation to estimate the rate of cell migration and the rate of cell proliferation in a scratch assay.
Critical time scales for reaction diffusion processes
We are developing new theory about critical timescales for reaction-diffusion processes and we test this theory using laboratory-scale measurements of flow in porous media.
Exact solutions of reaction-diffusion processes on growing domains
Recently we have been developing exact solutions of reaction-diffusion equations on growing domains, which are relevant to many developmental processes.
