SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presenter Christian Cuba-Samaniego\, PhD \nUniversity of California Los Angeles \nTalk Title: Adapting feedback control and pattern recognition paradigms for biotechnological applications \nEngineering synthetic networks with desired behavior for robust adaptation or complex decision-making is challenging. Current approaches rely on different negative regulation techniques or logic-based operators\, which suffer from suboptimal performance. To address this limitation\, we introduce two design principles: (1) ultrasensitive input-output behavior and (2) tunable thresholds. Here\, we engineer ultrasensitive-based networks to both achieve adaptive behavior through feedback control and build synthetic programs for molecular pattern recognition by implementing neural computing networks in living cells.

SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Irene Kaplow\, PhD \nCarnegie Mellon University \nTalk Title: Relating enhancer genetic variation across mammals to complex phenotypes using machine learning \nLecture abstract: Advances in the genome sequencing have provided a comprehensive view of cross-species conservation across small segments of nucleotides.  These conservation measures have proven invaluable for associating phenotypic variation\, both within and across species\, to variation in genotype at protein-coding genes or highly conserved enhancers.  However\, these approaches cannot be applied to the vast majority of enhancers\, where the conservation levels of individual nucleotides are often low even when enhancer function is conserved and where activity is tissue- or cell type-specific.  To overcome these limitations\, we developed the Tissue-Aware Conservation Inference Toolkit (TACIT)\, in which convolutional neural network models learn the regulatory code connecting genome sequence to open chromatin in a tissue of interest\, allowing us to accurately predict cases where differences in genotype are associated with differences in open chromatin in that tissue at candidate enhancer regions.  We established a new set of evaluation criteria for machine learning models developed for this task and used these criteria to compare our models to models trained using different negative sets and to conservation scores.  We then developed a framework for connecting these predictions to phenotypes in a way that accounts for the phylogenetic tree.  When applying our framework to motor cortex\, we identified dozens of new candidate enhancers associated with the evolution of brain size and vocal learning. \nBio.: Irene Kaplow received her B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2010. There\, she began her career as a computational biologist while doing research with Bonnie Berger. She then went to graduate school at Stanford University\, where she received her Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2017. At Stanford\, she worked in the Hunter Fraser and Anshul Kundaje’s labs to develop methods to analyze novel high-throughput sequencing datasets to better understand the roles of DNA methylation and Cys2-His2 zinc finger transcription factor binding in gene expression regulation. Irene is now a Lane Postdoctoral Fellow in Andreas Pfenning’s lab in the Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon University\, where she is developing methods to identify enhancers involved in the evolution of neurological characteristics that have evolved through gene expression.

SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Interpretable deep learning for cancer personalized medicine” \nDr. María Rodrίguez Martίnez is the Technical Leader of Systems Biology at IBM Research Europe (Switzerland) and an associated member of the Department of Biology at ETH since 2014. A theoretical physicist by training\, she became interested in the development of computational and statistical approaches to unravel cancer molecular mechanisms using high-throughput multi-omics datasets and single-cell molecular data. In recent years\, her team has specialized in the development of AI approaches for personalized drug modeling. More recently\, she is building multi-scale models of the immune system through a combination of deep learning and mechanistic models. Through this effort\, her team has developed deep learning models to predict the specificity of T cell receptors and stochastic mechanistic models to recapitulate B cell development. \nShe is also quite active in the area of interpretable deep learning. Deep learning has achieved astounding performances in a broad range of disciplines\, but breakthrough performances have often come at the price of a lack of information about the rules that govern a model’s decision. Interpretable deep learning aims to develop models that can not only make a prediction with high accuracy\, but can also provide insight into the reasons underlying the prediction. On this area\, her team has contributed several novel methods for different applications in computational biology\, ranging from AI-driven protein modeling to the integration of image and RNA-Seq data modalities.

SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Accelerated Molecular Simulations and Drug Discovery” \nRemarkable advances of supercomputing and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming computational chemistry\, biology and medicine in studies of molecules to cells. However\, large gaps remain between the time scales of supercomputer simulations (typically microseconds) and those of biological processes (milliseconds or even longer). It has proven challenging to achieve sufficient sampling and compute thermodynamics and kinetics of biological systems\, hindering effective drug design. I will present our efforts to address these challenges and make use of simulations for drug discovery. First\, we have developed novel theoretical and computational algorithms and AI techniques. They have enabled unprecedented simulations on repetitive dissociation and binding of small molecules\, peptides and proteins\, thereby allowing for highly efficient and accurate calculations of their binding free energies and kinetics. These parameters are critical for therapeutic design of drugs\, peptides and antibodies. Furthermore\, we have combined complementary accelerated molecular simulations and cutting-edge experimental techniques to uncover functional mechanisms of important biomolecules and design novel drug molecules through successful collaborations with leading experimental groups. Our studied systems include G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that serve as primary targets of ~1/3 of currently marketed drugs\, γ-secretase (a key membrane-embedded protease implicated in Alzheimer’s disease)\, RNA-binding proteins and RNA. Future outlooks will be provided for AI-driven drug discovery and multiscale modeling of cellular signaling pathways. \nBrief Biography: Dr. Yinglong Miao is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences and Center for Computational Biology at the University of Kansas. Yinglong obtained Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry in the Peter Ortoleva lab at Indiana University. He then received training in Biophysics and Pharmacology through postdoctoral studies\, first with Jeremy Smith and Jerome Baudry at Oak Ridge National Laboratory/University of Tennessee\, and then with Andy McCammon at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute/the University of California San Diego. Yinglong develops novel accelerated simulation methods and applies these methods in advanced simulations of biomolecules and drug discovery. His lab currently focuses on simulations and drug discovery of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)\, membrane-embedded proteases\, RNA-binding proteins\, and RNA. Yinglong received the Scientist Development Award from American Heart Association in 2017 and OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award from ACS Computational Chemistry in 2021. He has been productive in research with >80 published papers and 37 H-index so far. He has received funding from American Heart Association\, NIH and NSF.

SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Machine Learning the Rules od Antibody-Virus Interactions \nTal did his PhD at Caltech with Rob Phillips\, whose lab specializes in developing models that don’t just fit data\, but provide deep insights into the underlying mechanisms. In his postdoc\, Tal shifted lanes into immunology\, joining Jesse Bloom’s lab at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center which studies the antibody response against viruses such as influenza\, HIV\, and SARS-CoV-2. Tal is a Damon Runyon Quantitative Biology Fellow\, and today we will hear about one of his multidisciplinary research projects that combines concepts from physics\, math\, biology\, and computer science to help us understand and augment our antibody response against viruses. \nAbstract for advertising talk: Immunology is undergoing a paradigm shift where the objective has expanded from creating a stopgap vaccine against a currently-circulating virus to developing a universal vaccine that confers lifelong protection. My research uses biophysical modeling and machine learning to probe how the antibody response changes with each viral exposure\, with the ultimate goals of making the antibody response programmable and guiding it to a maximally-protective configuration. My lab will initially build off my expertise with influenza\, but future efforts will generalize these methods to other viruses such as HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 that are of interest to public health.
