I2CELL is an initiative to foster a research community on using information processing concepts & tools in cell biology. It started by a seminar summarized in EMBO reports and it continues with a seed award of €250K during 3y for an experimental project. https://t.co/y5mYmss9BN
Great project which won the I2CELL competition organized by @FondationFG. Cellular biologists and computer scientists collaborate to present and answer biological questions in a different light.
Excited to have the opportunity to present this work. Maybe the first time I will be presenting it to an outside audience. It's fun to think that this all started as a side project during an MBL Physiology Course rotation.
Thanks to the Fondation Fourmentin-Guilbert for funding
Congratulations to Professor Wallace Marshall from @ucsf_biochem! The I2CELL Seed Award goes to his project to model single cell organisms as finite state automata @WallaceUcsf: https://t.co/PkQFURBUkM
Thanks to all PIs who participated in the first round of the I2CELL Seed Award! The jury received 53 letters of intent and retained 6 for full proposal evaluation.
At the I2CELL seminar Antoine Danchin @snoria explains the “cell as computer” metaphor and the necessity to take the concept of information into consideration. Watch video here: https://t.co/kYIqH0g9Po …

The essential role of Maxwell’s demons in biological systems has been addressed/analyzed by Antoine Danchin in several articles eg https://t.co/AqWaHGnE1C and countless posts in his blog of https://t.co/E1pCqt8biq, I hope he gets the credit he deserves ... https://t.co/QOIszHhRFN
