CV: M.Angels Colomer received her doctor  degree in mathematical sciences by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. In  the past, she was associated professor at the Polytechnic University  of Catalonia. She   is titular Professor of  statistics and operative research at the University  of Lleida. Her main research areas are in  stochastic process and membrane computing. She has published  seven books in statistics and control  quality, three book chapters of applications of stochastic models, and 21  scientific papers.

Title of Lecture: Applications of Population Dynamics P  systems

Abstract of Lecture: Mathematical models are a modern tool for scientific  investigation. They have emerged as a powerful, indispensable tool for studying  a variety of problems in scientific research, allowing us to analyze them and  make predictions. A computational bio-inspired framework to model cellular  processes is presented in this talk. The semantics is captured through an  extension of the Gillespie algorithm. This paradigm is illustrated with a model  of the ``quorum sensing'' in bacteria Vibrio fischeri. These bacteria exhibit  coordinated behavior which allows an entire population of bacteria to regulate  the expression of specific genes in a coordinated way depending on the size of  the population.
