Speaker: Jan-Christian Hütter, Broad Institute MIT Title: Inference of gene expression trajectories and statistical optimal transport. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables the collection of rich phenotypic information of individual cells. During this sequencing process, each cell is destroyed, which poses challenges in the analysis of time-course data of heterogeneous populations since cell trajectories need to…

Speaker: Zixuan Cang, UCI Title: Topological and Geometric Data Analysis Meets Data-driven Biology Topological and geometric data analysis (TGDA) is a powerful framework for quantitative description and simplification of datasets' shapes. It is especially suitable for modern biological data that are intrinsically complex and high-dimensional. Traditional topological data analysis considers the geometric features of a…

Speaker: Christopher Miles, NYU Title: Modeling & data science of stochastic organization in the mitotic spindle For cells to divide, they must undergo mitosis: the process of spatially organizing their copied DNA (chromosomes) to precise locations in the cell. This procedure is carried out by stochastic components that manage to accomplish the task with astonishing…

Speaker: Alexandria Volkening, Northwestern Univiersity Title: Modeling and analysis of zebrafish-skin patterns Many natural and social phenomena involve individual agents coming together to create group dynamics, whether they are cells in a skin pattern, voters in an election, or pedestrians in a crowded room. Here I will focus on the example of pattern formation in…

Speaker: William Gilpin, Harvard Quantitative Biology Initiative Title: Chaos and emergent computation in biological dynamics Experimental measurements of biological systems often have a limited number of independent channels, hindering the construction of interpretable models of living processes. Dynamical systems theory provides a rich set of tools for inferring underlying mathematical structure from partial observations, yet translating…
