Inhalte der Vorlesung
The focus of the course
will be on the quantitative mathematical modelling of biological
processes by reaction-diffusion systems both on the inter- and
intracellular level. The lecture course will also provide an
introduction to numerical methods for the solution of
reaction-diffusion equations.
Various examples that will be
considered range from physiology to wave dynamics and symmetry
breaking inside cells:
- Intracellular calcium dynamics and intracellular metabolic processes (e.g. glycolysis, phosphorylation of proteins)
- Waves of electric activity in cardiac tissue (including their importance for cardiac arrhythmia as tachycardia and fibrillation)
- Lipid domain formation at membranes at mesoscopic scales
- Polarization processes prior to cell migration or morphogenesis
More general aspects studied include the use of numerical bifurcation and stability analysis, the impact of spatio-temporal noise and heterogeneities, three-dimensional travelling waves, as well as control of pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems.
Bemerkung: Die Vorlesung wird in englischer Sprache gehalten.
