  • Intelligent in-cell electrophysiology – Chitaranjan Mahapatra

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

    In this talk, we discuss the paper "Intelligent in-cell electrophysiology: Reconstructing intracellular action potentials using a physics-informed deep learning model trained on nanoelectrode array recordings" by K. Rahmani et al., Nat. Comm, 2025. Abstract Intracellular electrophysiology is essential in neuroscience, cardiology, and pharmacology for studying cells’ electrical properties. Traditional methods like patch-clamp are precise but

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

    In this talk, we discuss the paper "GenAI-Net: A Generative AI Framework for Automated Biomolecular Network Design" by M. Filo et al., arxiv, 2026. Abstract Biomolecular networks underpin emerging technologies in synthetic biology—from robust biomanufacturing and metabolic engineering to smart therapeutics and cell-based diagnostics—and also provide a mechanistic language for understanding complex dynamics in natural

  • TwinCell: Large Causal Cell Model for Reliable and Interpretable Therapeutic Target Prioritisation – Yun Min Song

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

    In this talk, we discuss the paper "TwinCell: Large Causal Cell Model for Reliable and Interpretable Therapeutic Target Prioritisation" by J.-B. Morlot et al., bioarxiv, 2026. Abstract Drug discovery is impeded by the difficulty of translating targets from preclinical models to patients. Here, we present TwinCell, a Large Causal Cell Model (LCCM) capable of generalising

  • A multimodal sleep foundation model for disease prediction – Jinwoo Hyun

  • Stochastic theory of complex biochemical reaction networks – Chen Jia

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

    Biochemical reaction networks and gene regulatory networks in cells are prototypical examples of complex systems, characterized by highly nonlinear and stochastic, multilevel dynamical interactions. Gaining a deep understanding of the stochastic dynamics and thermodynamic principles governing biochemical reaction networks not only helps elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions and the onset and progression

  • Stochastics in medicine: Delaying menopause and missing drug doses – Sean Lawley

    Stochastic modeling and analysis can help answer pressing medical questions. In this talk, I will attempt to justify this claim by describing recent work on two problems in medicine. The first problem concerns ovarian tissue cryopreservation, which is a proven tool to preserve ovarian follicles prior to gonadotoxic treatments. Can this procedure be applied to
