Fluorescence imaging with spectrally variant fluorophores allows the spatial mapping of biological structures with exquisite cellular and molecular specificity. However, the ability to robustly discriminate multiple fluorophores in any single imaging... read more
Brain tumours invade neural tissue, disrupting the functional organisation of neural networks. This disruption can trigger compensatory neuroplastic mechanisms that help preserve cognitive function despite pathological burden. Resting-state functiona... read more
Activity of the mesolimbic system is essential for adaptive performance of reward-related behaviors. Within this system, dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons play a critical role in driving motivation to obtain rewards and encoding predictions and error si... read more
Neuromodulatory systems, notably basal forebrain cholinergic and midbrain dopaminergic pathways, critically influence reinforcement learning (Schultz et al., 1997; Doya, 2002; Yu and Dayan, 2005). However, whether and how they cooperate or compete to... read more
Protein structure prediction using deep learning has revolutionized protein design. Yet, our understanding of protein function remains a key limitation for designing novel proteins that perform complex biological tasks. Here, we adopt a massively-par... read more
Understanding function from structure is a central topic in both neurobiology and artificial intelligence. In the human brain, macroscale functional organization, including functional parcellations, modules, and hierarchies, has been systematically l... read more
Models of protein evolution are foundational to biology, underpinning essential techniques such as phylogenetic tree inference, ancestral sequence reconstruction, multiple sequence alignment, variant effect prediction, and protein design. Historicall... read more
Although prime editing (PE) can effect virtually any specified local change to genomic DNA in living systems, its efficient application currently requires extensive optimization of prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) sequences. We present OptiPrime, a m... read more
Machine learning (ML) models are effective at classifying images across various fields, including biology. However, their performance on biomedical images is often limited by the small size of available datasets that are constrained by the time-consu... read more
High genomic variability among viral species makes sequence classification highly dependent on multiple sequence alignment (MSA) methods, which are both computationally intensive and sensitive to data quality issues. To provide a more efficient and r... read more
