Manu Flores

Hey, hola, hallo! I’m Manu, a grad student in Matt Thomson’s group at Caltech, a greenhouse for exploring bold ideas in math & biology.

I’m broadly interested in using mathematics and computation to answer questions in genomics, evolution, and development.

These days I’m mostly interested in the following topics.

Development and regeneration:
- How does a single cell self-organize to develop into a complex organism like an animal ?
- What are the common features of development and regeneration ?

I guide the answer to these questions using the following mathematical methods.
