New advances in biocomplexity

12 August 2019
Professionals from academia and industry get together
Biocomplexity is the study of macro-scale complex structures and behaviours that arise from micro-scale interactions of active biological agents, across multiple levels ranging from molecules and cells to organisms and ecosystems.

The key concepts and features include emergence, self-organisation, feedbacks, nonlinearity, sensitivity to initial conditions, critical dynamics, resilience, as well as adaptation and evolution. 

Hosted by , the workshop (held on 12 July 2019) brought together professionals from both academia and industry, interested in complex systems and life sciences. The presentations spanned several areas: computational epidemiology, health and bio-security, cognitive modelling and artificial intelligence.

 continues MBI's cross-disciplinary engagement with Engineering and presented the keynote talk "Antimicrobial resistance and ecosystems: a multiscale perspective". Also presenting was Prof Daniel Polani,  Univeristy of Hertfordshire who spoke on "Bit from It: the emergence of information from the structure of the world".
