Evolution of robust cell differentiation under epigenetic feedback
In multicellular organisms, cells differentiate into multiple types as they divide. States of these cell types, as well as their numbers, are known to be robust to external perturbations, as conceptua...

Big news! At least for me. I'll start building my own research group at the amazing IMBA in Vienna. Starting from single-cell omics data, we will develop computational tools and theoretical models to understand how single cells make decisions, in particular during development. I think that IMBA is

Our review on Marr's levels in embryonic development is now out in @prxlife.bsky.social !

How can we organize current theoretical approaches for developmental biology - from information to dynamical systems & GRNs - into a common framework?

We propose to think along Marr's 3 levels: computational problem, algorithm, implementation
