Collective cell movement occurs throughout biology and medicine and there are many common fea-tures shared across different areas. I will review work we have carried out over the past few years on
(i) systematically deriving a PDE model for tumor angiogenesis from a discrete formulation and comparing this model with the classical, phenomenological snail-trail model;
(ii) agent-based models for cranial neural crest cell migration in a collaboration with experi-mental biologists that has revealed a number of new biological insights.
