DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCollective cell movement is a common phenomenon in
  biology\, occurring n embryonic development\, wound healing and disease. 
 In a collaboration with experimentalists for over a decade we have been ca
 rrying out an interdisciplinary study of the chick cranial neural crest. I
  will show how a simple agent-based mathematical model\, combined with exp
 erimental studies\, has led to new insights into how these neural crest ce
 lls move in a coherent stream. In particular we identified phenotypic hete
 rogeneity and switching as being key features of the process\, as well as 
 investigating mechanisms that confine the cells to the corridor along whic
 h they move.
