Hi there!

I am a biologist working in the University of Antioquia, in Medellín, Colombia. I am mostly involved in #ComputationalBiology and #Bioinformatics, but I enjoy and work in other subjects too:

- Molecular Biology
- Genetics
- Dynamical systems (ODEs)
- Systems Biology
- Microbiology

I believe in #OpenScience and I could say that #Linux and free software changed my life.

Currently I am promoting the field of Computational Biology in Colombia: https://biologia-computacional.github.io/

Hashtagged title: Using #SingleCell #SyntheticBiology to Unravel the Mechanisms of Biological Timing and #PatternFormation

Looking at network motifs for biological clocks, working in #Xenopus, building a synthetic cell (cool!)

what makes a tunable biological oscillator?

can slow down clock (in model system) by knockdown of cyclin B

Emulating emergent spatio-temporal cell population dynamics with #machinelearning algorithms remains challenging

Population dynamics arise from autonomous #SingleCell decisions
e.g. in context of #cancer progression

Created tool called ARCADE = Agent-based Representation of Cells And Dynamic Environments

Show your #SysAdminDay appreciation for all the wonderful System Administrators🧑‍💻keeping everything 💻 running 🏃💽💿 smoothly https://sysadminday.com #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology #HPC #DataScience

We currently have 6 months of funding for a #postdoc to work on an ongoing collaboration between Janssen and CBIO (@flomass and myself) on network-guided genome-wide association studies.

I know 6 months isn't much, but unfortunately that's all we have at the moment.

Details: https://cbio.mines-paristech.fr/pdf-files/2023-janssen-cbio-postdoctoral-position-offer/at_download/file (pdf)

If you're interested and attending #ISMBECCB2023 in person, @flomass is there as well, get in touch!

🎙️ NEW #BlackInCompBio PODCAST EPISODE: Navigating Imposter Syndrome with Dr. Javan Carter, Bioinformatics Scientist at @rti_intl. He has had various roles in academia, industry, and now non-profit, and you can tune in to hear about his journey and how we all grappled with talking about imposter syndrome in computational biology. OUT NOW at the link in our bio!

I am slow and lazy. So my project on writing the textbook on computational systems biology is moving at a snail's pace.
The book chapters are here on git: https://github.com/biplabbose/Systems_Biology_Textbook

Please use the materials in your course and give me feedback for improvements.

It turns out it may be better to have (genetically) curly than straight hair (or no hair at all), 👩🏽‍🦱 especially under extreme heat and/or sun exposure - shows a recent study by
@TinaLasisi
et al. 🧬
Tightly curled hair came off best in their experiment than other hair types (bald head, straight hair, moderately curled hair) regarding minimising sweating and overheating.

So science Twitter seems severely degraded from my experience; have more people stopped using these types of sites altogether, or are they. posting here and I don't see them? #machinelearning #science #computationalbiology #structuralbiology
