Lecture 4.3
- Title: Invited Lecture — Designing Optimal Microscopy Experiments to Harvest Single-Cell Fluctuation
Information while Rejecting Imaging Distortion Effects
Lecturer: Prof. Brian Munsky
Lecturer Website: https://www.engr.colostate.edu/~munsky/
Lecturer Email: brian.munsky@colostate.edu
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to integrate single-cell data with discrete stochastic models
- Understand the importance of uncertainty quantification and model selection
- Learn about new opportunities for model-driven experiment design
Dr. Brian Munsky joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the School of Biomedical Engineering as an assistant professor in January of 2014. He received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 2000 and 2002, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2008. Following his graduate studies, Dr. Munsky worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory — as a Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow (2008-2010), as a Richard P. Feynman Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in Theory and Computing (2010-2013), and as a Staff Scientist (2013). Dr. Munsky is best known for his discovery of Finite State Projection algorithm, which has enabled the efficient study of probability distribution dynamics for stochastic gene regulatory networks. Dr. Munsky’s research interests at CSU are in the integration of stochastic models with single-cell experiments to identify predictive models of gene regulatory systems, and his research is actively funded by the W M Keck Foundation, the NIGMS (MIRA), and the NSF (CAREER). Dr. Munsky is very excited about the future of quantitative biology, and he would love to talk about this with you!
