We will discuss about “Detecting critical state before phase transition of complex biological systems by hidden Markov model”, Chen, Pei, et al. Bioinformatics 32.14 (2016): 2143-2150. Abstract Motivation: Identifying the critical state or pre-transition state just before the occurrence of a phase transition is a challenging task, because the state of the system may …
Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 relies on interactions between humans. Heterogeneity and stochasticity both in human-human interactions and in the transmission of the virus give rise to non-linear infection networks that gain complexity with time. We assessed the limits of control and the effect of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical measures against COVID‐19 outbreaks with a detailed community‐specific agent-based model …
Abstract: Circadian clocks control the timing and 24-hour periodicity of virtually all physiological rhythms including sleep, cognition, and metabolism. There are optimal times for most behaviours; e.g., the best sleep is achieved during low circadian activity (night), while meals and physical exercise are best placed during high circadian activity (day) when metabolic rates, stress hormone …
Abstract: The ability to reliably engineer the mammalian cell will impact a variety of applications in a disruptive way, including cell fate control and reprogramming, targeted drug delivery, and regenerative medicine. However, our current ability to engineer mammalian genetic circuits that behave as predicted remains limited. These circuits depend on the intra and extra cellular …
We will discuss about “Multiparameter persistent homology landscapes identify immune cell spatial patterns in tumors”, Vipond, Oliver, et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 118.41 (2021): e2102166118. Abstract Highly resolved spatial data of complex systems encode rich and nonlinear information. Quantification of heterogeneous and noisy data—often with outliers, artifacts, and mislabeled points—such as …
Abstract: Since before the time of Aristotle and the natural philosophers, reductionism has played a foundational role in western scientific thought. The premise of reductionism is that systems can be broken down into constituent pieces and studied independently, then reassembled to understand the behavior of the system as a whole. It embodies the classical linear …
Absolute Concentration Robustness (ACR) was introduced by Shinar and Feinberg (Science 327:1389-1391, 2010) as robustness of equilibrium species concentration in a mass action dynamical system. Their aim was to devise a mathematical condition that will ensure robustness in the function of the biological system being modeled. The robustness of function rests on what we refer to as empirical robustness — the …
We will discuss about "Role of DNA binding sites and slow unbinding kinetics in titration-based oscillators”, Karapetyan, Sargis, and Nicolas E. Buchler,Physical Review E 92.6 (2015): 062712. Abstract Genetic oscillators, such as circadian clocks, are constantly perturbed by molecular noise arising from the small number of molecules involved in gene regulation. One of the strongest …
IBS BIMAG will host a mini-workshop on Monday, 19 December 2022, that will feature some of the current trends in pure and applied mathematics. Several faculties from the Institute of Mathematics, University of the Philippines Diliman are invited to share their academic group’s ongoing research. Prof. Seunggyu Lee (Korea University), Dr. Dae Wook Kim (University …
We will discuss about “Optimal control of aging in complex networks”, Sun, Eric D., Thomas CT Michaels, and L. Mahadevan, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 117.34 (2020): 20404-20410. Abstract Many complex systems experience damage accumulation, which leads to aging, manifest as an increasing probability of system collapse with time. This naturally raises the question …
IBS BIMAG will host a kick-off workshop for the winter internships on Monday, 26 December 2022. The internship participants from Pusan National University and Postech will give 8 minutes presentations on their research topics. Presentation List: 김미지 (Miji Kim) - A Comparison Study of Dropout to Prevent Overfitting Problem in CNN Image Data Classification 김지현 …
사람이 어떻게 만들어지고 각 기관이 어떻게 발달하는지에 대한 질문은 아주 오래전부터 있었습니다. 체외수정(IVF)의 고유의 장점으로 인해 과학자들이 수정란을 외부에서 관찰할 수 있게 되었습니다. 하지만, 1979년도에 제정된 14일 규정(the 14-day rule)으로 인해, 수정 후 최대 14일까지의 배아 만의 연구가 가능합니다. 따라서, 이 14일 규정은 발생 생물학자들이 사람 발생학 연구에 있어서 수정 후 2주 이상(신경계 발달, 기관 …
