DESCRIPTION:Morphogenesis - the generation of biological shape and form - 
 is a fascinating process\, and its study promises to shed light on a wide 
 range of developmental defects and inform strategies for tissue engineerin
 g and regeneration. Recently\, the experimental study of morphogenesis has
  thrived due to significant increases in the availability of new molecular
  biology and imaging technologies. However\, to take advantage of the aval
 anche of data resulting from modern developmental biology studies requires
  new theoretical tools. We need to be able to automatically extract useful
  quantitative data from experimental outputs\; build biologically realisti
 c and predictive theoretical models\; and systematically interrogate and v
 alidate these models using the extracted quantitative data. In this talk I
  will describe several theoretical contributions we have recently made in 
 this area\, focussing around the fundamental question of tissue size contr
 ol.
