DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/gbgphd/27/">
 The Galton-Watson process and aging cells</a>\nby Lotta Eriksson as part o
 f Gothenburg PhD seminar\n\nLecture held in MVL14.\n\nAbstract\nThe Galton
 –Watson process was developed to explore the possible extinction of fami
 ly names\, sparked by a Victorian worry that aristocratic surnames were sl
 owly dying out. The Galton–Watson process models how populations evolve 
 across generations\, where each individual produces a random number of off
 spring. In a multitype Galton-Watson process we allow the individuals to b
 e of different type to allow for different probabilistic behavior. In this
  talk\, I present a multitype Galton-Watson process to model populations o
 f cells that ages biologically by accumulating damage within the cell body
 . The cells have the ability to pass on part of its damage to its daughter
  cell\, resulting in rejuvenation and longer life spans. Furthermore\, I p
 resent how we can model a single cell using Markov chains.\n
