Cell invasion is fundamental to many biological processes ranging from developmental morphogenesis to disease progression. Experimental data describing invasion is typically collected across a range of scales encompassing population-level and individual-level data. Interpretive and predictive tools capable of replicating and connecting these kinds of data are needed. Continuum population-level and agent-based individual-level methods are two modelling approaches that can replicate and connect multiscale experimental data. We are using agent-based and continuum modelling approaches in parallel to identify and explore various similarities and inconsistencies that arise when considering the same problem using different modelling scales.
