Overview

  • Overarching Goal: Appoximate biological process networks - such as molecular signaling and protein inetractions - as Markov birth-death processes and infer their parameters using MaxEnt to quantitatively characterize and predict cell` population response heterogeneity.

  • Analysis of Bistability in the Lactose Utilization Network of E.coli as a model network.

  • Infer molecular abundance time-evolution trajectories using MaxEnt in the E.coli lactose utilization network.
