SUMMARY:Natalia Komarova (UC San Diego): NITMB Seminar Series
UID:642117@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Evolutionary Games: Mathematical Theory and Biological Insights workshop. All are welcome to attend this seminar.  Title: Mathematical modeling of spatial evolution with applications to biomedical systems  Abstract: Evolutionary dynamics permeates life and life-like systems. Mathematical methods can be used to study evolutionary processes\, such as selection\, mutation\, and drift\, and to make sense of many phenomena in life sciences. Mass-action (or mean-field) evolutionary dynamics have been studied over the last 100 years\, and produced an enormous wealth of useful results. In this talk\, however\, I will discuss how spatial interactions may change the laws of evolution\, giving rise to a number of interesting and counterintuitive findings. I will discuss both explicitly spatial systems and metapopulations\, and demonstrate a number of scaling laws that describe production and spread of disadvantageous\, neutral\, and advantageous mutants. Applications of these laws to bacterial growth and carcinogenesis will be discussed.  The NSF-Simons National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology Seminar Series brings together a mix of mathematicians and biologists to foster discussion and collaboration between the two fields. The seminar series typically takes place on Fridays from 10am - 11am at NITMB. Talks are in-person with the ability to join remotely.\n\nMore Info: https://www.nitmb.org/nitmb-seminar-series
