Pi Day: Carlos Bustamante: Models and Data in Biomedicine: What's Real and What's Noise? And, Why Should We Care?
Data Science Distinguished Seminar Series
If you think of a scatterplot of data overlaid with a model for the data and ask practitioners from different fields, “what’s noise and what’s real?” the answers may surprise you. To a biologist, the data will almost surely be “what’s real” and the model is a poor approximation to the “truth.” To a physicist, the model is probably “what’s real” and the data is just a noisy realization of an underlying true physical process that we are attempting to study. As we think about the biomedical data enterprise in the 21st century and the massive amounts of data w...

Regulation of Splicing in Single Cells: Understanding Heterogeneity in Gene Expression
NCI’s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand RoundsThe primary goal of Dan Larson's laboratory is to understand gene expression in eukaryotic cells, starting from the mechanistic behavior of individual macromolecules and proceeding to their regulation in cells and tissue. The laboratory utilizes a battery of biophysical and molecular approaches, including single-molecule microscopy, multi photon microscopy, fluorescence fluctuation analysis, RNA visualization in fixed and living cells, and computational modeling of dynamic gene regulation. Dr. Larson was trained in biophysics, receiving a B.S. in physics from The Ohio St...

New National Academy of Sciences Members Minisymposium
A mini-symposium featuring NIH's three newest investigators elected to the National Academy of Sciences: Carolina Barillas-Mury (NIAID), Marius Clore (NIDDK), and Shiv Grewal (NCI). Each will speak about their latest research.
Barillas-Mury is chief of the Mosquito Immunity and Vector Competence Section in the NIAID Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research. She investigates the interactions between the mosquito immune system and Plasmodium parasites to understand how they affect malaria transmission. Clore is an NIH Distinguished Investigator in the NIDDK Laboratory of Chemical Physics. His lab is develo...
