Morphogenesis: The Mathematical, Physical, and Biological Workings
Professor of Applied Mathematics, Physics, and Organismic and Evolutionary Biology
L. Mahadevan presents a synthesis of mathematical models, physical principles, and biological observations to explain the emergence of form in living systems, addressing how fundamental interactions lead to complex biological structures.
In his Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on May 5, 2021, Harvard professor L. Mahadevan will take viewers on a journey into the mathematical, physical, and biological workings of morphogenesis to demonstrate how researchers are beginning to unlock secrets that have vexed scientists since Darwin.
