Living organisms have evolved as complex systems capable of actively altering or tracking their surroundings in space and time. Secretion of metabolites, migration of cells to another environment as well as formation of multicellular group of cells all constitute such activities. The Dynamics group aim to elucidate the physical and evolutionary mechanisms by which such complex dynamics in cells and multicellular tissues are formed. Through detailed quantitative analysis and modeling of basic spatio-temporal dynamics in movement, deformation, polarization, and division of a single cell and tissues in addition to genome-wide comparisons, the group will explore common logics across the seemingly diverse type of molecule or species of organism. If we compare the Theory, Measurement, Synthesis, and Information Integration groups to warp (the lengthwise threads in a fabric), Dynamics Research Group can be compared to woof (the threads that run across), in which techniques developed by the other four groups are further advanced and closely combined.
