Neural Cellular Automata for Top-Down Engineering of Self-Organising Systems

About the Project. Self-organisation is a property of many natural systems, where local interactions among individuals give rise to patterns and behaviours at the global level—for example, flocks of birds collectively avoiding a predator, or the collective decision-making process of honey bees' nest site selection [1].

Mitotic kinases safeguarding genome stability during mammalian cell division

Faithful cell division ensures the correct segregation of the genetic material over multiple generations. Failure of this process may result in cell death or lay the foundation for tumorigenesis. Read more
