Outline

The goal of this research is to investigate relationships between graphs and finite metric spaces and thereby provide a mathematical foundation of distance-based graph theoretical modelling of various biological processes, such as cellular differentiation and viral evolution. We also develop a novel data analysis software in collaboration with stem cell biologists, which we believe will lead to a better understanding of the structure and mechanisms of cellular differentiation and thus contributes to medical science as well as mathematical science.
