- DescriptionCCAM Seminar Series Speaker: Dr. Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor, Biological Sciences, University of Maryland Title: "Regulatory mechanisms of cell differentiation and body shape formation: from phenotypes to models" Abstract: Multicellular organisms develop tissues and body shapes through cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms controlling spatial and dynamical patterns is a current challenge due to the complex feedback loops between molecular signals, mechanical forces, and the emergent cell types and tissue shapes they control. I will present our bioinformatics and systems biology approach, which integrates molecular assays, dynamic mathematical modeling, and de novo machine learning inference algorithms, to understand cell differentiation and body shape regulation. We demonstrated this methodology by understanding the whole-body regulation of planarian worm shapes, differentiation of human hematopoietic stem cells, and pattern formation of developmental synthetic biology systems.
