Are differences between Parkinson’s patients and healthy subjects like other brain diseases? The dynamical state of cortical neural activity constrains the complexity of functions it can perform. A marginally stable …
Bistable Dynamics of Perceiving Ambiguous Stimuli When experiencing an ambiguous sensory stimulus (e.g., the vase-faces image), subjects may report random alternations (time scale, seconds) between the possible interpretations. I will …
Modeling insights into subcellular cytoskeleton organization with external size changes Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and a fundamental component of the cytoskeleton, playing a …
Mathematical modelling of malaria: Population-scale dynamics, vaccination, and evolution Malaria transmission and persistence depend critically on the interaction between parasite dynamics, human immunity, and epidemiological feedbacks. I will review recent …
Mechanistic Insights Into Parkinson’s Disease and Sex Differences in Liver Oxidative Stress In volume transmission, or neuromodulation, neurons communicate not through direct, one-to-one synaptic connections, but by releasing neurotransmitters broadly …
Engineering ovarian cancer solutions using evolutionary medicine, math modeling, and big data Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer despite the progress we’ve made in personalized medicine; there has …
Adaptive Dynamics on High-Dimensional Optimization Random Landscapes What do spin glasses (a subfield of high-dimensional probability and statistical physics), evolutionary biology, and artificial intelligence (AI) have in common? All involve …
