Causal Inference – basics and examples

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

Abstract: In real world, people are interested in causality rather than association. For example, pharmaceutical companies want to know effectiveness of their new drugs against diseases. South Korea Government officials are concerned about the effects of recent regulation with respect to an electric car subsidy from United States. Due to this reason, causal inference has

Absolute concentration robustness in networks with low-dimensional stoichiometric subspace

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

We will discuss about "Absolute concentration robustness in networks with low-dimensional stoichiometric subspace", Meshkat, Nicolette, Anne Shiu, and Angelica Torres., Vietnam Journal of Mathematics 50.3 (2022): 623-651. Abstract: A reaction system exhibits “absolute concentration robustness” (ACR) in some species if the positive steady-state value of that species does not depend on initial conditions. Mathematically, this

A Dynamic Paradigm for Molecular Cell Biology

ZOOM ID: 997 8258 4700 (Biomedical Mathematics Online Colloquium) (pw: 1234)

Abstract: The driving passion of molecular cell biologists is to understand the molecular mechanisms that control important aspects of cell physiology, but this ambition is - paradoxically - limited by the very wealth of molecular details currently known about these mechanisms. Their complexity overwhelms our intuitive notions of how molecular regulatory networks might respond under

Time-keeping and Decision-making in the Cell Cycle

ZOOM ID: 997 8258 4700 (Biomedical Mathematics Online Colloquium) (pw: 1234)

Abstract: Cell growth, DNA replication, mitosis and division are the fundamental processes by which life is passed on from one generation of eukaryotic cells to the next. The eukaryotic cell cycle is intrinsically a periodic process but not so much a ‘clock’ as a ‘copy machine’, making new daughter cells as warranted. Cells growing under

Stationary distributions and positive recurrence of chemical reaction networks

ZOOM ID: 997 8258 4700 (Biomedical Mathematics Online Colloquium) (pw: 1234)

Abstract: Cellular, chemical, and population processes are all often represented via networks that describe the interactions between the different population types (typically called the "species"). If the counts of the species are low, then these systems are often modeled as continuous-time Markov chains on the d-dimensional integer lattice (with d being the number of species),

Rhythmicity is linked to expression cost at the protein level but to expression precision at the mRNA level

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

We will discuss about "Rhythmicity is linked to expression cost at the protein level but to expression precision at the mRNA level", David Laloum, and Marc Robinson-Rechavi, PLoS computational biology 18.9 (2022): e1010399. Abstract: Many genes have nycthemeral rhythms of expression, i.e. a 24-hours periodic variation, at either mRNA or protein level or both, and

Mathematical modelling of the sleep-wake cycle: light, clocks and social rhythms

ZOOM ID: 997 8258 4700 (Biomedical Mathematics Online Colloquium) (pw: 1234)

Abstract: We’re all familiar with sleep, but how can we mathematically model it? And what determines how long and when we sleep? In this talk I’ll introduce the nonsmooth coupled oscillator systems that form the basis of current models of sleep-wake regulation and discuss their dynamical behaviour. I will describe how we are using models

Inferring microenvironmental regulation of gene expression from single-cell RNA sequencing data using scMLnet with an application to COVID-19

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

We will discuss about "Inferring microenvironmental regulation of gene expression from single-cell RNA sequencing data using scMLnet with an application to COVID-19", Cheng, Jinyu, et al., Briefings in bioinformatics 22.2 (2021): 988-1005. Abstract: Inferring how gene expression in a cell is influenced by cellular microenvironment is of great importance yet challenging. In this study, we

Model Reduction for the Chemical Master Equation: an Information-Theoretic Approach

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

We will discuss about "Model Reduction for the Chemical Master Equation: an Information-Theoretic Approach", Öcal, Kaan, Guido Sanguinetti, and Ramon Grima., arXiv preprint arXiv:2210.05329 (2022). Abstract: The complexity of mathematical models in biology has rendered model reduction an essential tool in the quantitative biologist's toolkit. For stochastic reaction networks described using the Chemical Master Equation, commonly

Shift: A mobile application for shift workers leveraging wearable data, mathematical models, and connected devices

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

Shift workers experience profound circadian disruption due to the nature of their work, which often has them working at times when their internal clock is sending a strong signal for sleep. Mathematical models can be used to generate recommendations for shift workers that shift their body's clock to better align with their work schedules, to

Developing and designing dynamic mobile applications that transform wearable data with machine learning and mathematical models.

B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

Wearable analytics hold far more potential than sleep tracking or step counting. In recent years, a number of applications have emerged which leverage the massive quantities of data being amassed by wearables around the world, such as real-time mood detection, advanced COVID screening, and heart rate variability analysis. Yet packaging insights from research for success
