Seminar

In this talk, we discuss the paper "Quantifying information accumulation encoded in the dynamics of biochemical signaling" by Y. Tang, et.al, Nature Communications, 2021. Abstract Cellular responses to environmental changes are encoded in the complex temporal patterns of signaling proteins. However, quantifying the accumulation of information over time to direct cellular decision-making remains an unsolved …

In this talk, we discuss the paper "The Large Language Models on Biomedical Data Analysis: A Survey" by Wei Lan et.al, IEEE J. Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2025, at the Journal Club. Abstract  With the rapid development of Large Language Model (LLM) technology, it has become an indispensable force in biomedical data analysis research. However, …

In this talk, we discuss the paper "A biological model of nonlinear dimensionality reduction" by K. Yoshida and T. Toyoizumi, Science Advances, 2025, at the Journal Club. Abstract Obtaining appropriate low-dimensional representations from high-dimensional sensory inputs in an unsupervised manner is essential for straightforward downstream processing. Although nonlinear dimensionality reduction methods such as t-distributed stochastic neighbor …

In this talk, we discuss the paper "Designing microplastic-binding peptides with a variational quantum circuit–based hybrid quantum-classical approach" by R.C. Vendrell et.al., Sci. Adv. 2024 at the Journal Club. Abstract De novo peptide design exhibits great potential in materials engineering, particularly for the use of plastic-binding peptides to help remediate microplastic pollution. There are no …

In this talk, we discuss the paper "Frequency-Dependent Covariance Reveals Critical Spatiotemporal Patterns of Synchronized Activity in the Human Brain" by Rubén Calvo et al., Physical Review Letters 2024, at the Journal Club. Abstract Recent analyses, leveraging advanced theoretical techniques and high-quality data from thousands of simultaneously recorded neurons across regions in the brain, compellingly …
