Johor Bahru, 20 August 2025 – The Faculty of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), successfully hosted the latest session of its Science Seminar Series featuring an insightful talk by Assoc. Professor Tero Atsushi from the Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University, Japan. The seminar, titled “The Mathematical Model of the Behaviour from Single Cells to Blood Vessels”, drew researchers, academicians, and students eager to explore the intersection of mathematics and biology.
Held at UTM HELIXs, the seminar provided participants with a deeper understanding of how mathematical modeling can be applied to investigate complex biological systems. Assoc. Prof. Tero Atsushi highlighted how mathematical tools and computational simulations serve as powerful approaches to describe, predict, and analyze the behavior of biological entities across multiple scales – from individual cells to intricate vascular networks.
The talk emphasized the role of mathematical models in bridging the gap between theoretical science and practical applications, particularly in medical and biomedical research. Understanding cellular and vascular dynamics not only advances fundamental knowledge but also provides valuable insights for disease modeling, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
Participants also benefited from discussions on the integration of mathematics with experimental biology, showcasing how interdisciplinary approaches can push the boundaries of scientific discovery. The seminar created an excellent platform for knowledge exchange, inspiring researchers at UTM to explore new avenues for collaboration in mathematical biology and biomedical sciences.
The event reflects the Faculty of Science’s ongoing commitment to nurturing great minds through cutting-edge research and innovation, aligning with UTM’s vision of becoming a leading global university in science, technology, and engineering.
