Dr Xing delivered a chalk talk at Harvard Theory Lunch series
Why physical intuition is important in biology: from protein motors to cells
Sophia received multiple awards
Sophia received the best poster award at the CSI retreat, and a travel award to attend the 2022 annual symposium of NSF-Simons Center for Multiscale Cell Fate Research (CMCF) at UC Irvine. Congratulations!

Yan’s dynamo ms submitted
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/696724v2.full Single-cell RNA-seq, together with RNA velocity and metabolic labeling, reveals cellular states and transitions at unprecedented resolution. Fully exploiting these data, however, requires dynamical models capable of predicting cell fate and unveiling the governing regulatory mechanisms. Here, we introduce dynamo, an analytical framework that reconciles intrinsic splicing and labeling kinetics to estimate absolute RNA […]
