Bacterial cells transmit memories to offspring
In new research, researchers from CND in collaboration with the University of Texas-Southwestern demonstrated that bacteria can transmit nongenetic traits to offspring inheriting their regulatory network state.
From a Point to a Torus: Unveiling Emergent Dynamics with Higher-order Bifurcations
In a recent SIAM News article, Nicolaou and Motter discuss the role of higher-order bifurcations in giving rise to emergent collective dynamics such as time crystals whose response frequency is incommensurable with the driving frequency.
Transfer learning paves the way for new disease treatments
In a new study, CND developed an AI-powered transfer learning approach that repurposes publicly available data to predict combinations of gene perturbations that can transform cell type or restore diseased cells to health.
Jens Koch named APS Fellow
Physics and Astronomy Professor Jens Koch was recently named a 2023 Fellow by the American Physical Society. This honor recognizes his work “providing theoretical and numerical frameworks for modern superconducting qubits, as well as pioneering contributions to circuit quantum electrodynamics and quantum optics.”
