Cell signalling is at the frontier of investigation of cells, tissues and organisms, both in the animal and plant kingdoms. The study of cell signalling is becoming the cornerstone in understanding how cells and cell populations perceive and interact with the external world. Importantly, in all natural systems, cell signaling pathways interact with one another to form networks, both within and between cells, that can behave in complex and unexpected ways. Our understanding of cell signalling is hindered by this inherent complexity, and future analyses of cell signaling networks will require a synergistic combination of experimental and theoretical approaches including the development and analysis of simulations and models. A Cell Signalling Network will bring together a number of internationally renowned researchers from biology and the mathematical sciences. This group activity will enhance the development of innovative techniques that could not be achieved in isolation. A truly interdisciplinary network devoted to the study of cell signalling will engage life scientists and mathematicians in developing new approaches and methodologies to improve our understanding of cell signalling in a variety of contexts, including normal development, wound healing, and disease.
