Section: Overall Objectives

Present objectives

The dynamics of complex physical or biophysical phenomena involving many agents, including proteins or cells - seen as active agents - can be represented efficiently either by explicitly considering the behaviour of each particle individually (e.g. through branching trees and piecewise deterministic Markov processes, or stochastic differential equations) or by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) which, under certain hypotheses, represent local averages over a sufficiently large number of agents.

Biology and medicine currently face the difficulty to make sense out of data newly available by means of recent signal acquisition methods. Modelling through agent-based or continuous models is a unique way to explain (i.e., model) the observations and then compute, control and predict. These are the goals of MAMBA.
