We are part of a multi-disciplinary team investigating new understandings of stem cell behaviour. The project is a collaboration between an artist (Jane Prophet), a mathematician (Mark d’Inverno), a stem cell researcher (Neil Theise), an Artificial life (Alife) programmer (Rob Saunders), and a curator/producer (Peter Ride). Theise has novel ideas about how adult stem cells behave and organise t...
