Lior Pachter @lpachter.bsky.social from CalTech visited us this week - a real interdisciplinarian, spanning fields from algebraic statistics & geometry to computational biology. Here he is highlighting the confounding of biological signal & technical noise in single cell genomics data. @mpi-cbg.de

Also from
Oxford and the @haharrington.bsky.social ASB group is Rob McDonald. He models spatial data in many contexts - think tumours, Covid, and climate change. Wonderful to have you here too Rob!

The wonderful Gill Grindstaff has been with us this week from Oxford, working on a couple of phylogenetic protects with @haharrington.bsky.social and Rene Hoekzema. Welcome Gill!

Claudia Fevola from INRIA Saclay is with us this week, visiting Türkü Özlüm Çelik - they are working on algebraic curves and the solution to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation used in modelling the motion of water waves. Welcome Claudia!

Next up was Carl Modes, leader of the Network Complexity and Systems Biophysics group here at @mpi-cbg.de and @csbdresden.bsky.social, talking about the theoretical underpinnings of morphogenesis: topology and geometry meeting biology.

We had many others too, but here’s us celebrating Maria Torras Pérez’s @torrasperez.bsky.social new paper going up on arXiv about a new visualisation method to study spatial patterns in cell distribution data. More to come on this!

Joining us at the retreat, and soon also as a postdoc in @aidadoesmath.bsky.social’s group is Carlotta Langer talking about information-theoretic complexity measures in the context of integrated information theory. Madly interesting stuff.

A few snippets from our retreat. First up, Türkü Özlüm Çelik @turkuozlumcelik.bsky.social, one of our math group leaders, giving a window into her ideas about computational algebraic geometry. ‘This showcases how fruitful and delicate a mathematical structure of some natural phenomenon can be’.
