My first paper in systems biology is in PRE! We investigate how local nearby bifurcations lead to synergies in critical slowing down, specifically the case of mushroom bifurcations in gene regulatory networks!

Thank you to the Warwick Medical School for hosting the "Bridging mechanics and genetics in early development" workshop. Thank you especially for selecting my talk on AC-DC circuits for the "Best Talk" runner up award! There were so many excellent talks and I am honoured to be selected as runner up

Another day, another funky gene regulatory network behaviour! In our latest paper, we show how the mushroom bifurcation can encode an ultra-long biochemical timer. Even more interestingly, extrinsic noise can be used to improve timing precision! 🤯
