DESCRIPTION:The development of an organism relies on the tightly orchestra
 ted behaviour of many cells. How do these cells regulate their fate in ord
 er to build complex structures\, like the heart or the brain? Underlying c
 ell fate regulation are complex molecular programs and\, and\, with recent
  technological developments\, we are now in a position to describe these m
 olecular processes with increasing detail. But understanding how cellular 
 states and behaviour emerge from these processes remains conceptually chal
 lenging. Given these challenges\, can we infer mechanisms of cell fate reg
 ulation from tissue level measurements? In this talk I will discuss how me
 thods from theoretical physics can help bridging these scales. Giving the 
 example of lineage tracing in organ development will show that through the
  interplay of many cells generic patterns of clonal dynamics emerge\, and 
 how these patterns provide a quantitative basis for deciphering cell fate 
 specific information. \n\nCV \n\n2003-2009 Studied physics at the Universi
