CCB Seminar: Learning cellular state and dynamics in single cell genomics

Zoom Seminar

Dr. Fabian Theis, Head of Computational Health Center, Helmholtz Institute Munich Modeling cellular state as well as dynamics e.g. during differentiation or in response to perturbations is a central goal of computational biology. Single-cell technologies now give us easy and large-scale access to state observations on the transcriptomic and more recently also epigenomic level. This […]

CCB Seminar: Machine learning for biological sequence design with therapeutic applications

Zoom Seminar

Dr. Lucy Colwell, Assistant Professor, University of Cambridge, Google Research Abstract: Prediction of protein functional properties from sequence is a central challenge that would allow us to discover new proteins with specific functionality. Experimental breakthroughs allow data on the relationship between sequence and function to be rapidly acquired that can be used to train and […]
