Happy to share our new article presenting a computational inference methodology able to predict the dynamics of Acute Myeloid Leukemia from a curated clinical dataset. Congrats to Reza Mousavi and @moaathmustafaal!

New preprint published showing how the feedback between morphogens and cell growth can drive the emergence of tissue shapes. Check out these stable Turing patterns.

@ciphrd Cool project. Many years ago we studied graph grammars to formalize such systems and applied them to evolve structures and simple alife organisms. Check out these:

Ahead of today's hearing in Congress: my opinion piece with the @nytimes on why Covid-19 was likely caused by a lab accident.
My hope since 2020 has been for leaders, especially scientists, to lead the charge in investigating a plausible lab #OriginOfCovid - as opposed to shutting it down as a conspiracy theory or standing by while conflicted parties do so. That hope has been revived repeatedly in the past 4 years by courageous scientists, journalists and individuals who took on considerable risks to do the right thing and push for a fair investigation.
In sharing this analysis of the available evidence with potentially millions of NYT readers, my aim is to undo some of the politicization of this issue - which has stood in the way of a thorough and bipartisan investigation of this global catastrophe, resulted in mis-reporting on origins for 4 years, as well as hindered the implementation of effective measures to prevent lab-based outbreaks.
A wholehearted investigation by US gov has the power to unearth more compelling evidence while spurring whistleblowers to find their courage and opportunity. And, regardless of whether the pandemic came from nature or a lab, the world must not continue to bear the intolerable risks of research with the potential to cause pandemics.

Mathematical modelling shows how planarians stay in shape
Read this Research Highlight showcasing work from Jason Ko, Waverly Reginato, Andrew Wolff and Daniel Lobo @dnlobo@UMBCBiology@umbc:

Our paper studying the dynamics and mechanisms of planarian growth and degrowth regulation is now out in @Dev_journal!
We combine experimental, mathematical, and computational methods to give insights into the regulation of whole-body shape.

We seek 2 PhD candidates within the @FAIROmicsDN, European Doctoral Network. MathModels/AI/FAIRData/PlantBased Food Fermentation/synbio: check offers DC7 @i2sysbio & @UnivParisSaclay and DC8 @KU_Leuven & @i2sysbio. Great conditions (~3000 Eur/month) and international training!
Designing gene regulatory mechanisms for spatial patterns is hard due to the non-linear regulatory dynamics needed.
Check out our new paper showing how a computational method can automate designing such circuits to produce any given pattern in silico.
