Modeling Life from Cells to Tissues

Date: April 20 - 23, 2026
Location: Allen Institute - Seattle, USA
Organizers: E. Hannezo, P.Liberali, J. Sharpe, R. Gunawardane

How do tissues self-organize from the collective behavior of individual cells? This conference brings together researchers across disciplines to uncover how local rules and cellular agency shape morphogenesis, regeneration, and tissue homeostasis. Through experimental and modeling approaches, we will probe how robust patterns emerge—and what their failure teaches us about disease.
