Building a solid research profile takes time. We want to support exactly that in #theoreticalbiology and offer *two* long-term postdoc positions. Details and application procedure is here tecoevo.github.io/positions/

On the right side of history and stylish. So proud of them. #VoteYes2023

Getting some unexpected help with revisions of the hypergraph animals manuscript: arxiv.org/abs/2304.00841

The Topological Properties of the Protein Universe: new biology from new mathematics. We determine topology generators for the whole of AlphaFold2 and show their relationship to global protein features, thermodynamics, and disease mutations. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint "The Topological Properties of the Protein Universe". Work carried on by PhD student Christian Degnbol Madsen, and with @syzmath, Michael P.H. Stumpf Douglas Pires and others biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In this new preprint I consider a general theory of function-based hypergraph transformations on families of hypergraphs. These transformations can model dynamic changes, and their form allows for their incorporation into larger mathematical structures. arxiv.org/abs/2309.13641

Great and important piece by Dr Zoe Laidlaw on the troubled histories of Australian Universities, including University of Melbourne and its attempt to confront its legacy of First Nations’ dispossession. australianbookreview.com.au/abr-online/cur…

Such a catastrophic lack of compassion and understanding. At a complete and utter loss.

This just shows how important education is - nothing is more effective. abc.net.au/news/2023-10-1…

There’s been plenty of “Physics of Life” postdoc ads recently— high profile places like Max Planck, MIT, Cambridge… Sounds good, right? Well… can you surf there? 🏄‍♂️ 👇Only 1 day left to apply!👇

I’ve always admired Angela MacLean. Her sharpness, knowledge, wit, and outspokenness win me over every time. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/o…

Please RT: new MACSYS-CoE & Theory of Living Systems Webinar webinar by Prof. Bas Teusink theoryoflivingsystems.org/event-details/… on Wednesday 22nd of November at 3:30pm AEDT (GMT+11 - Syd/Mel/Can). Very much looking forward to our first whole cell modelling seminar.

I’m very much looking forward to talking at the Elixir meeting about our work on the topological prope of the protein universe. Tuesday 5th of December at 10:00 CET. elixir-europe.org/events/latest-…

Our next MACSYS-CoE is this week: Prof Markus Covert will speak about The E coli whole cell modelling project Please register here: theoryoflivingsystems.org/event-details/…

This speech by Fareed Zakaria is a litany of misinformation. There is much to improve at US universities, but his claims are false and unhelpful. A rebuttal: 1/🧵

Join us for our MACSYS-CoE webinar with John Glass on: “Design, Construction, and Analysis of a Synthetic Minimal Bacterial Cell” All welcome, please just register to obtain the zoom link theoryoflivingsystems.org/event-details/…

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish! You can find me on Mastodon (on mathstodon.xyz) and BlueSky always as Michael P.H. Stumpf You can still follow MACSYS-CoE to adventures into whole cell modelling.

New preprint with Vinaya Gunasri! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We explored the war between colorectal cancers and the immune system and how CRCs change the epigenome, microenvironment and genetics to win it. The highlights:

I first learned about lattice animals in the great Annette Zippelius’s advanced stat mech lecture. Hypergraph animals owe a huge debt to her. They’ve been fun to explore and more do: journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1… Thanks to Sean Vittadello and Léo Diaz for helpful discussions
