CoMPLEX is holding a Seminar arranged by Buzz Baum in UCL. The Speaker is Dr Yitzhak Pilpel (from Department of Molecular Genetics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), a worldclass Systems Biologist.

To provide robust fulfilment of regulatory gene expression programs cells rely on genetic circuits that allow them to respond more efficiently to their environment, and to control the internal stochastic fluctuations. We study how these goals are fulfilled by regulating genomic redundancies that offer genetic backup against external and internal variability. I will discuss our explorations of regulatory systems probabilistically predicts environmental changes before they actually occur. I will introduce our investigations into the structure of redundancy-based circuits that provide cellular solution to genetic and non-genetic fluctuations.
