This federal Project Grant award of $327,019 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop innovative conceptual, theoretical, and computational tools to detect coherent patterns in complex nonlinear biological systems and devise mechanistic biophysical models to predict and explain these patterns. The overarching aim is to elucidate how cell motion and signaling are coupled to drive the emergence of pattern and form during embryogenesis and stem cell differentiation. The research will yield a practical framework applicable to any developmental stage or model organism to recast molecular data, characterize how cell motion modulates signal propagation, and place quantitative constraints on signaling ranges and mechanisms in motile cell environments. UCSD will test and calibrate this framework on unsolved problems in avian gastrulation and gastruloids, ultimately integrating the findings into a unified predictive model of morphogenesis and differentiation for avian gastrulation. This research is expected to provide insights to aid in detecting and preventing developmental abnormalities and contribute biophysical principles to support stem cell technologies and engineering organoids.
