The study of transitions requires bridging biological scales and integrating diverse disciplines, including statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, and developmental biology. Recent technological advances in quantitative biology, the acquisition of big data and machine-learning based analysis now make it possible to study this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course will give applicants the unique opportunity to closely interact with a diverse group of renowned scientists (speakers\/trainers) who work on biological transitions in fundamental developmental processes including morphogenesis, signal transduction, gene expression, collective cell and animal behaviour. Participants will be introduced to the theoretical knowledge of biological transitions and get hands-on training using state-of-the-art methods applied in-depth in different model systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is intended for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows with a STEM background. We aim to balance the number of participants with hands-on experience and theoretical background. A key criterion for selection is the potential benefit of adding novel developmental biology and biophysics methods to the participant&#8217;s own research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules\/resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Theory of phase transitions, critical and bifurcation points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uni- to multi- cellular transitions in slime molds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material phase transitions in zebrafish embryos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Life cycle transitions in planarian flatworms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Body shape transitions in cnidarians<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inter-disciplinary methods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highly multiplexed RNA fluorescent in situ hybridisation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantitative imaging and analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine learning based image segmentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biophysics analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamical systems theory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback microscopy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hands on with single cell RNA-sequencing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diverse organisms, incl zebrafish, dicty, nematostella, medaka, planaria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Attending \u2018Plasticity in developing systems\u2019 <\/em>[previous title]<em> was a fantastic experience as an ECR.
