Network Models of Self-Assembled Functional Materials
The fabrication of functional materials composed of metallic nanoparticles is one of the most important steps in the contemporary nanotechnology. Nonlinear selfassembly of nanoparticles into macroscopic aggregates are promising methods in which various structures can be obtained by tuning certain control parameters. Such large-scale aggregates exhibit new physical features, which …
Modular gene dynamics and network theory at mesoscopic scale
Complex dynamical systems are often modeled as networks, with nodes representing dynamical units which interact through the network’s links. Gene regulatory networks, responsible for the production of proteins inside a cell, are an example of system that can be described as a network of interacting genes. The behavior of a …
Functional interpretation of gene expression data
Microarrays are at the center of a revolution in biotechnology, allowing researchers to simultaneously monitor the expression of tens of thousands of genes. The final aim of a typical microarray experiment is to find a molecular explanation for a given macroscopic observation (e.g., which pathways are affected by the loss …
