TITLE: "Statistics, Biology and Applications of Human Mutation.”
TITLE: "Electric actuation of DNA-based molecular machines.” ABSTRACT: A wide range of machine-like molecular assemblies have been generated over the past years. Most of them have been driven (or controlled) by DNA hybridization, utilization of buffer changes, or using chemical modifications such as photoswitches. A more recently explored strategy is the use of electrical fields for the manipulation of DNA devices, which enables fast […]

TITLE: “Stochasticity in cancer immunotherapies: identifying the T cell subset that sparks tumor eradication” ABSTRACT: We use an ex vivo model of tumor eradication to dissect the fundamental variability of clinical outcomes in cancer immunotherapies. We demonstrate that there exists an inherent stochastic variability in immune responses, based on the low abundance of hyper-responsive naïve T cells (so-called […]
