 ng collective cell motion\n\nAbstract: Collective cell motion is a common 
 theme in biology occurring\, for example\, in developmental biology\, woun
 d healing and cancer growth. Given the complexity of the process\, the sta
 ndard model -  verbal reasoning and intuition - can sometimes lead to erro
 neous conclusions. We show how mathematical modelling\, combined with expe
 rimental research\, can integrate some of the complexities involved and le
 ad to new biological insights. Specifically\, we will focus on neural cres
 t cell migration and present some examples from cancer\, showing how pheno
 typic heterogeneity plays a key role.\n\nSpeaker's biography: Philip K. Ma
 ini received his B.A. in mathematics from Balliol College\, Oxford\, in 19
 82 and his DPhil in 1985 under the supervision of Prof J.D. Murray\, FRS. 
 He spent a year teaching at Eton College before returning to Oxford in 198
 7 as a postdoc at the WCMB and a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College
 . In 1988 he was appointed Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Departme
 nt at the University of Utah\, Salt Lake City. In 1990 he returned to Oxfo
 rd as a University Lecturer and in 1998 was appointed Professor of Mathema
 tical Biology by Recognition of Distinction and Director of the WCMB. In 2
 005 he was appointed Statutory Professor of Mathematical Biology. He is on
  the editorial boards of a large number of journals\, including serving as
  the Editor-in-Chief of the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology [2002-15]. He
  has also been an elected member of the Boards of the Society for Mathemat
 ical Biology (SMB) and European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical B
 iology (ESMTB). He is a Fellow of the IMA (FIMA)\, a SIAM Fellow\, an Inau
 gural SMB Fellow\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (FRSB)\, Miemb
 ro Correspondiente (Foreign Fellow)\, La Academia Mexicana de Ciencias (AM
 C)\, Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS)\, Fellow of the Academy of Medical 
 Sciences (FMedSci)\, Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy
  (FNA)\, Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences (FEurASc) and Fellow o
 f the American Association for the Advancement of Science (FAAAS). He has 
 published over 540 papers and an H index of 96 as of April\, 2025.\n\nHost
