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

EASTBIO - The hidden role of acrocentric short arms in genome instability

The short arms of acrocentric chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 are among the least understood regions of the human genome. They consist of highly repetitive DNA (rDNA arrays, satellite repeats and segmental duplications), meaning much of their sequence is missing from canonical references like hg38. Read more

EASTBIO (CASE): Computational Genetics and Advanced Statistical Analysis of Noise Fear in Pet Dogs

Dogs have better hearing than humans and are very sensitive to noise. Fear of loud noises, including fireworks, is known to affect a large proportion of pet dogs and is detrimental to dog welfare, leading to responses such as trembling, panting and hiding. Read more
