  • Leveraging Large-Scale Perturbome Data for Complex Disease Target Discovery- Sang-Min Park

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    Complex diseases, such as cancer, sarcopenia, and immune disorders, arise from abnormalities in multiple genes and pathways, posing significant challenges to conventional single-target drug discovery strategies. To address this, we developed a perturbome-based analytical framework that integrates transcriptomic signatures, network pharmacology, and machine learning to identify effective therapeutic candidates. Central to this approach is the

  • Quantifying interventional causality by knockoff operation – Olive Cawiding

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    In this talk, we discuss the paper, "A wearable-based aging clock associates with disease and behavior" by A. C. Miller et al., Nature Comm, 2025. Abstract  Aging biomarkers play a vital role in understanding longevity, with the potential to improve clinical decisions and interventions. Existing aging clocks typically use blood, vitals, or imaging collected in

  • Generic Temperature Response of Large Biochemical Networks – Shingo Gibo

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    In this talk, we discuss the paper "Generic Temperature Response of Large Biochemical Networks" by Julian B. Voits and Ulrich S. Schwarz, PRX Life, 2025. Abstract  Biological systems are remarkably susceptible to relatively small temperature changes. The most obvious example is fever, when a modest rise in body temperature of only few Kelvin has strong

  • Multi-Marginal Flow Matching with Adversarially Learnt Interpolants – Gyuyoung Hwang

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    In this talk, we discuss the paper "Multi-Marginal Flow Matching with Adversarially Learnt Interpolants" by O. Kviman et al., 2025, arxiv. Abstract Learning the dynamics of a process given sampled observations at several time points is an important but difficult task in many scientific applications. When no ground-truth trajectories are available, but one has only
