D-SPIN is a computational framework for constructing mechanistically interpretable, generative models of cellular regulatory networks from single-cell mRNA-seq data. The framework models how perturbations change cell states by reconfiguring the underlying regulatory interactions, revealing global organization and key regulators of perturbation responses, as well as mechanisms of combinatorial drug responses.

Workshop programme is available here: wost7detailedDownload The workshop runs from approximately 3pm to 6:30pm on each day (CEST, or UTC+2).

We study the optimal performance of an information engine consisting of an overdamped Brownian bead confined in a controllable, $d$-dimensional harmonic trap and additionally subjected to gravity. The...

Optimal control of stochastic systems plays a central role in nonequilibrium physics, with applications in the study of biological molecular motors and the design of single-molecule experiments. While...
