Applying mathematical modelling to biological problems in plant science
This webinar with Rea Antoniou-Kourounioti, University of Glasgow, UK, and John Fozard, John Innes Centre, UK, recorded on 15 March 2023, gives an overview of the ways in which mathematical models, closely integrated with experimental data, can be used to give new insights into biological problems. They discuss models for various biological processes and problems, at different spatial resolutions and timescales, from subcellular to whole plants. They also describe the challenges in integrating models and experimental data, and suggest strategies for successful interdisciplinary collaborations.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the video you will be able to:
- Describe some of the different uses of mathematical models in plant science
- Identify how mathematical models can be successfully integrated with biological data
- Appreciate what models are useful for, and their limitations
Were you aware that EMBL-EBI offers a repository named BioModels, which hosts a vast selection of existing literature-based mathematical models of biological and biomedical systems? To learn how to use the BioModels effectively, read our online tutorial – BioModels: Quick tour.
