Data-Driven Biology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the mechanisms of life phenomena using mathematical models.
AboutAbout the lab
Using mathematics to uncover the logic by which life functions.
The Data-Driven Biology Lab aims to clarify the "logic by which living systems give rise to their functions" through mathematical approaches.
Spanning levels from molecules to cells to multicellular systems, the lab uses mathematical modeling to explore how biological functions that appear purposeful are realized.
The lab's web page lists keywords such as Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning, and single-cell omics.
The lab says that undergraduate students who are motivated to try research are welcome to get in touch, regardless of their affiliation.
Key terms
- Mathematical modeling
- A method of representing the mechanisms of life phenomena with equations or computer-based models and examining them against data
- Bayesian inference
- An approach that updates the plausibility of unknowns based on observed data
- Single-cell omics
- Methods that examine cells one at a time and comprehensively measure things such as gene activity
ResearchResearch themes
The behavior of living things appears purposeful, but at scales smaller than the cell, only physical processes such as biochemical reactions are at work. The lab aims to clarify through mathematical approaches how biological functions are realized across levels from molecules to cells to multicellular systems, and its members work on topics such as mathematical modeling of disease data and three-dimensional imaging and morphological analysis of tissues and organs.
