How are biological forms encoded? Group leader at IBDM Marseille, director of Turing Center for living systems (CENTURI). Professor at Collège de France, Paris: Dynamics of living systems
Please find below the link to watch the VIDEO of my 3rd course @college-de-france.fr on Biological computation. I present and discuss Network motifs that reveal the hidden logic of complex genetic and biochemical networks.
Enjoy!

Awesome. What an adventure! Can’t wait for discoveries to come.

look at these crazy moves!! Let's face it, what these cells want for Christmas is #cilia... the best type of motility appendage...
New preprint! Do you like ocean waves? We found similar waves on bacterial colonies! We found that this collective behavior, known as rippling, is nothing but surface waves on an active nematic. @princeton.edu @mpipks.bsky.social @ub.edu @icreacommunity.bsky.social

Here is the link to my 2nd course at the College de France @college-de-france.fr
In it I address the problem of how complexity increases during development with constant information (arising from Shannon information theory).
Algorithmic information is key.
Enjoy.

I strongly believe that focusing on information & computation during Development provides an important framework, that encapsulates the genetic, chemistry & mechanics, but focusses on organisation, dynamics & logic.

Very happy to share video of 1st lecture @college-de-france.fr on Biological computation 😊. I defend the necessity to access Algorithmic & Computational levels of analysis in cell & developmental biol. proposed by David Marr in neuroscience. Logic & Function matter 🤩.
