Katie Bentley is a Reader and Group Leader at the Cellular Adaptive Behaviour Lab at the Francis Crick Institute and the Department of Informatics at King’s College London. Her research focuses on developing agent-based simulations and computational methods to model individual and collective cell behavior. Key areas of her work include the study of embryonic development and the aberrations that lead to diseases such as cancer and retinopathy. Her expertise encompasses simulation adaptive behavior, computational biology, bio-inspired robotics, artificial life, software engineering biological models, and developmental biology, particularly in the context of blood vessel formation and the spread of diseases like Vaccinia Virus. Bentley's contributions to her field are reflected in numerous peer-reviewed articles addressing topics such as Notch signaling in angiogenesis and mechanisms of collective cell migration. She is part of a multidisciplinary research team, collaborating with partners like UCL and Imperial College to advance biomedical research.
