Welcome to the Buttenschön Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst!
We use mathematical modeling and computational biology to understand how cells organize into functional tissues. Our research bridges mathematics, computation, and biology to uncover universal principles governing:
- 🩹 Wound healing
- 🐣 Embryonic development
- 🦠 Cancer metastasis
We develop and analyze:
- Mathematical models using dynamical systems, bifurcation theory, and nonlocal differential equations
- Cell-based computational frameworks to track individual cell behaviors and forces
- Multiscale methods connecting molecular to tissue-level phenomena
We're actively recruiting PhD students, postdocs, and motivated undergraduates interested in mathematical biology!
