Title: “Regulatory mechanisms of cell differentiation and body shape formation: from phenotypes to models”
Abstract: Multicellular organisms develop tissues and body shapes through cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms controlling spatial and dynamical patterns is a current challenge due to the complex feedback loops between molecular signals, mechanical forces, and the emergent cell types and tissue shapes they control. I will present our bioinformatics and systems biology approach, which integrates molecular assays, dynamic mathematical modeling, and de novo machine learning inference algorithms, to understand cell differentiation and body shape regulation. We demonstrated this methodology by understanding the whole-body regulation of planarian worm shapes, differentiation of human hematopoietic stem cells, and pattern formation of developmental synthetic biology systems.

Title: “Mechanobiology and Topology of Collective Cell Migration”
Abstract: Complex tissue architectures emerge from the interactions of migratory epithelial cells, driving self-organizing and pattern forming behaviors. In particular, transitions between multicellular groups and individuals (i.e. epithelial-mesenchymal transitions) occur widely in embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer progression. Here, I present my group’s work on collective cell migration at the interface of mechanobiology and topology. First, I describe our work on orbiting to invasive transitions of multicellular spheroids in 3D matrix, which we have systematically explored using experiment and computational modeling. Second, I present results on topological data analysis for human interpretable machine learning of multicellular patterns. I highlight the use of persistence diagrams and persistence images for dimensionality reduction and classification of tissue architectures. We envision that these physical and mathematical approaches enable new insights into the complexity of tissue morphogenesis in development and disease.
Bio: Ian Wong is Associate Professor of Engineering, and of Pathology / Laboratory Medicine at Brown University. He engineers new miniaturized technologies based on biomaterials and microfluidics to investigate cancer cell invasion, drug resistance, and heterogeneity. He is also interested in the unconventional fabrication of bio and nano materials using self-assembly and 3D printing. He did his graduate work on the directed self-assembly of biomolecular materials with Nick Melosh, receiving a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University. His postdoctoral training was with Mehmet Toner and Daniel Irimia at the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.
