Predicting absolute protein folding stability is a long-standing challenge in biophysics, with broad applications in protein design and in understanding genetic variation and evolution. Physics-based simulations have shown limited success at predicti...
Living matter produces a variety of beautiful spatiotemporal structures and patterns that are not enduringly present in their nonliving counterparts. These ordered, non-equilibrium steady states are often sustained through the consumption of energy. ...
SCN2A-related disorders result from pathogenic variants in the gene encoding for the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.2. Collectively, these disorders result in variable age of onset epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and epileptic encephalopathies...
In reinforcement learning, an agent learns to map representations of the environment state to predictions of future reward. Most prior work in neuroscience has assumed a fixed representation and studied how reward prediction errors (thought to be con...
Foundation models pre-trained on large neuroimaging datasets offer a promising approach to overcome the limited sample sizes typical of mental health imaging studies, yet their generalization across diverse clinical populations remains unclear. We pr...
Brain-state-guided and closed-loop transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocols have emerged as methods for decreasing the variability and increasing the therapeutic effectiveness of stimulation protocols. However, most existing brain-state-depe...
T cell receptors (TCRs) are critical for immune surveillance and successful adaptive immune response against foreign antigens. TCRs drive this key arm of the immune system through recognition of peptide epitopes presented on MHC complexes. However, t...
Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences. Widely used models of TF-DNA binding, such as position weight matrices (PWMs) and position-specific affinity matrices (PSAMs), assume binding free energy is th...
The peripheral auditory system of dolphins comprises specialised bony, fatty, vascular, and neural structures adapted for underwater hearing and diving physiology. These include the external ear canal, acoustic fat bodies, sinuses, and associated neu...
Reliable structure-based prediction of small-molecule druggability is hindered by a fundamental labeling problem. Experimentally confirmed liganded sites (positives) are observable, but credible "undruggable" pockets (negatives) are almost impossible...
