From the local to the global in biology: James Sharpe and Chiara Villa
James Sharpe (EMBL Barcelona) and Chiara Villa (CNRS, Université Paris Cité) talk about mathematical models of living systems, from cells that only sense their neighbours to hormones that travel through the whole body. Recorded at the Barcelona Workshop on Kinetic and Macroscopic Models in Biology with Friends II, in September 2026.
