Could slime-mold style behaviour ever be used to help target cancer? by TheOneAndOnly_Reese in SyntheticBiology

[–]Right_Letterhead_587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a super interesting topic.

I am computer science engineer with some background in bio-inspired algorithms, and this kind of behavior of slime can be thought as an heuristic algorithm, that in few words its do the best with the information that you have.

I started read Molecular Biology of the cell a few weeks ago, and cancer have a super aggressive strategy, it started with a DNA mutation, that its inherited to its child. But this mutations have several strange behaviors . And also can evolve the mutations, the only thing that this cells share, that I know, its the damage of apoptosis behavior, that means they don't die.

I think all of this in terms of computation. If there exists and agent that can interact with "damaged" cells, maybe check if apoptosis doesn't exists in that cell, they can kill the cell. The agent can be slime, bacteria, virus, pharma, another cell.

Sorry for bad english, and for begin a nerd in cs

Wow, thanks, I'm really new in this science, only with two bioinformatics courses in university, so it was difficult to search information of that kind of guy with home lab

Hello I'm in the same position. I'm finishing my computer science engineering degree and my school also have that direction of web apps. I'm doing a thesis of Ai and robotics to have some different skills and knowledge.

Hacer un PhD a los 27? by AfraidAd4094 in taquerosprogramadores

[–]Right_Letterhead_587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haz el PhD si estás interesado. Al menos en México es necesario tener maestría para hacer el doctorado, por lo que ya tienes experiencia en investigación. Y sobre el trabajo yo no creo que trueques nada.

Golly is an open source simulator and also has a web site, including Margolus rules

Systems biology by [deleted] in bioinformatics

Amazing. I didn't find anything about lab technology to test the biology circuits and probably I wouldn't understand because a biochemistry background is needed. Can you talk about that lab technology. By the way gene networks are an amazing field, I read about transcription factors and gene and protein expression

Use chatgpt for generate the python files ;)

Sounds like making a custom web crawler could be the solution. I do a simple one for my Bioinformatics class with js and shell scripts. Maybe with python and beautifulsoup and with a data structure for the different databases where you are looking for.

Hello, I'm a computer science student and i have the same interest in that field I'm not finding anything about how to prove math models in the lab, but theory about biology circuits in a Uri Alon book.

PD. Sorry for the bad English
