Anne Carpenter, a computational biologist and senior director of the Imaging Platform of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, brings the power of machine learning to researchers seeking answers in mountains of cell images. She developed CellProfiler, a widely used open-source software for measuring phenotypes (sets of observable traits) from cell images. It has been cited in more than 12,000 publications since its release in 2005.

We ask physicists to use graphics computers to explain The ten theories related to string theory (such as F-theory and super gravity and D-brane theory and M2-brane and M5-brane and NS5-brane and Phenomenology and Matrix theory and AdS/CFT correspondence and mirror symmetry ) in order to provide visual explanations about the functions of theories in the emergence of universes and states of energy and matter in the universe and black holes (We ask physicists to use artists to create animations to provide visual explanations about the functions of these ten theories in the genesis of the universe and black holes) Please send these requests to physicists and publish explanation videos translated into Arabic on KZfaq

It is a well known law of the universe, that after a scientist says "mitochondria." They must follow up with these words, "The powerhouse of the cell." Jokes aside thank you very much for the educational video.

My brother is an absolute pro in image analysis. He studied physics, went into biology at EMBL and ended doing image analysis with zebra fish (cells). I also had enough luck to do automated image segmentation of E. coli cells, which in my former group is aimed to be automated. I used a neural net to generate some cool features that could then be used to quantify certain phenotype traits and expression levels of proteins.

And people from different fields often work together on same projects.

Of course, it is not necessarily true that everyone with an abnormal mitochondrial distribution in some of their skin cells has a mental illness, nor even that everyone with a mental illness - even a particular type - has an abnormal mitochondrial distribution in some of their skin cells. A *lot* more research would have to be done.

we need to rethink the idea of software computation automaton robotics in sense of biology and the orientation of charge to attractand and reppelants in molecular bindings to that of computational logic thinking of the binding and unbinding as that of logic instrucitons that is also engine or drives computaiton as well. think of electricity as quantized computaitons between bindings forming and bindings broken. when we look at how electrons behave when molecules forms or breaks we would see in arangement of such behvior quantized electric potentials that behave as electrical switches that can be read as as a simular structure to that of computer code or robotic operations from a music box.

Psychosis patients have disordered mitochondria. But only treating the symptoms is it also going to treat psychosis ?

@DrAnneCarpenter 2 жыл бұрын

We have no idea, you are right to be skeptical! There are many steps: for example, first: find potential drugs that can reverse this cell phenotype, and second: see whether such a chemical can treat symptoms in the whole organism (and if so, in what subset of patients). Drug discovery is not simple or straightforward (and usually fails!) so we have to celebrate the promising results when they come.

@sohelbashar6925 Жыл бұрын

One could argue She is more of like making use of computer science tools to study Biology, rather than actually doing computer science. Coding /programming is an activity /tool. Computer science is an academic discipline like physics or Maths (which is rooted in maths). A lot of Computer Scientists never even write a single line of code, many are Mathematicias. Software Engineering is a different thing from Computer Science. It is just an application like Mechanical engineering vs Physics Now if you use NMR /xray crystallography in biology, you're not doing physics, rather using tools of physics to study Biology. That is why i hate when she says she made transition to computer science. If she was actually developing some mathematical modeling or algorithms for biological study then you could say sshe was doing computer science Using a software that software engineers already made is not really doing computer science

This Week In Machine Learning if you're interested in critical interviews about applying computer science techniques to biology. Science journalism must foster scientific debate, infuse ethics and dissenting views, validate the vaporware, puncture the press release, and integrate narrow lab work into broader pro-social lenses: sociological, anthropological, economic, political, etc. This uncritical interview functions as an ad for a lab and a career. Copy paste press release journalism harms the scientific process.

@@borgir6368 really? Its rather learning how to program is easy Most bio students wouldn’t even dare to get into core fields of AI, Theoretical Computer Science ( which is basically pure maths) . They don't have mathematical skills and these fields at core are extremely mathematical with probably much much more abstract concepts than in Biology probs. Its like how physicists can invade Biology but the opposite switch is rare because mathematical concepts are arguably said to be harder to gain Programming =\= computer science These people just use libraries built already without actually having to deal with core mathematics (which would be a Very tough ask)
