Milestones in Biology: From Cell Theory to Self-Organization

Advances in biology are often driven by technological developments and new theoretical frameworks. In this talk, we will explore key milestones and their significance:

Nathanael Pringsheim's Discovery: He demonstrated that sexual reproduction is a universal principle in animals and plants, made possible by cell theory and improved microscopy.Alan Turing's Contribution: He laid the foundation for self-organization and the mathematical modeling of biological patterns.John von Neumann: He developed cellular automata. These models helps to better understand the dynamics of evolving and migrating cell populations, such as those characterizing tumors.We will showcase how these discoveries have shaped our understanding of the complexity and organization of life.
