EASTBIO: Discovering the rules of stem cell self-organisation with AI-guided experimental design

What if we could watch groups of cells organise themselves into a tissue and automatically learn the rules by which these cells coordinate with each other? And what if we can then use those rules to optimise future experiments? In this project you will build the computational methods to achieve that. Read more

Decoding Retinal Specialisation: From Development to High-Acuity Vision

  Research Group: Psychology & Vision Sciences
The ability to resolve fine spatial detail depends on extraordinary specialisation of the retina. In humans, this culminates in formation of the fovea, where cellular organisation, neuronal connectivity and tissue architecture are precisely arranged to support high-acuity vision. Read more
