TITLE: "Integrating metabolomics and fluxomics to study cancer metabolism in low glucose environments." ABSTRACT: Metabolomics and fluxomics are integral tools for quantitative metabolic analysis. By combining mass spectrometry, isotope tracing, and mathematical modeling, we can quantify metabolite concentrations and fluxes in cancer cells. Using these tools, we are investigating the coordination of bioenergetics, biosynthesis, and redox […]

TITLE: "Critical slowing down signals quasi-species extinction in an evolutionary model with environmental heterogeneity." ABSTRACT: Environmental heterogeneity can significantly affect the evolutionary dynamics of a population. A key parameter that determines the influence of heterogeneity is the migration rate--the rate at which organisms explore their heterogeneous environment. We study a model of a population which migrates between […]
