Dr. Chaofan Chen, University of Maine School of Computing and Information Science: "Interpretable Case-based Deep Learning for DNA Classification" The use of deep neural networks has become increasingly popular, especially for computer vision and natural language processing tasks. In the genomics domain, deep learning has also received increasing attention, and has been used for classifying […]

Dr. Lauren Azevedo-Schmidt, UMaine School of Biology and Ecology, and Climate Change Institute Abiotic and biotic processes influence plant and insect herbivore species, a pattern that has been occurring across millions of years. By bridging the gap between modern and paleoecological studies we can more accurately root our understanding of community dynamics against the backdrop […]

Dr. Min Wu, Yale School of Medicine Mast cell is specialized in sensing and rapid responding to foreign antigen. Our lab discovered that many signaling, and actin cytoskeletal proteins formed oscillatory waves on the surface of mast cell. These observations suggest that the cortex of mast cell is close to the onset of a dynamical […]
