Cardiac arrhythmias account for about 1 death in 10 in industrialized countries. Although cardiac arrhythmias has been studied for well over a century, their underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Over the years, several factors that favor arrhythmias initiation were established. Among them are ionic and...

Due to its complexity and the impact of the human host, it is hard to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the gut microbial community from sequencing data alone. Synthetic communities are an excellent tool to complement in vivo studies. Their dynamics can be accurately monitored...
Abstract: Understanding how cells position themselves correctly in multicellular environments is a fundamental challenge in developmental biology. We use the invariable embryogenesis of C. elegans and a modelling approach to better understand the underlying mechanisms driving cellular movements. We developed a simulator to model the...
Heterogeneity in cancer is a consequence of both irreversible genetic changes and reversible transcriptional changes. Melanoma is prime example for this since on the genomic level melanomas have a high mutational burden leading to inter and intra-tumor heterogeneity while on the transcriptomic level they can...
