October 20 and 21, 2022
Each year, the Labex DigiCosme organizes Research Days whose objective is to present the work carried out within the teams supported by the Labex DigiCosme.
These days will also be an opportunity to discuss the future of the LabEx, beyond December 2022. From 2023, the Graduate Schools (for the University of Paris-Saclay) and the Departments (for the Institut Polytechnique de Paris) will take over from the LabEx Digicosme in scientific animation.
You are cordially invited to participate in these transition research days.

Guest speakers
Grégory Batt, InBio team, Inria and Institut Pasteur, (talk 1)
Title Experimental and computational methods for synthetic biology and cybergenetics
In this talk, I will introduce synthetic biology and cybergenetics, and present recent results we obtained in these fields. Synthetic biology aims at genetically engineering cells to solve problems of biomedical or industrial interests, and cybergenetics aims at controlling natural or artificial biological processes using genetically-engineered cellular systems and automatic control. In both fields, quantitative modeling is expected to play a central role. Yet despite intense research in these fields, the gap between theory and practice remains large, and the predictive power of the models remains modest.
At InBio, we are trying to bridge this gap through the joint development of experimental and computational methods. In this talk, I will present in the first part some of our recent works on the construction of automated experimental platforms to generate high-quality data obtained in well-controlled conditions. In the second part, I will present two applications of modeling approaches that capture cellular heterogeneity to obtain quantitatively predictive models for natural and synthetic biological systems. I will conclude the presentation with perspectives on design, build, test, and learn approaches for the rational construction of synthetic biological systems.

Title : Uncertainty in learning: from prediction to data
“Uncertainty in learning problems can happen at different stages: in predictions, data, models. In this talk, we will start by discussing the nature of uncertainties and the mathematical tools we can use to model those. The talk will then focus on two distinct but linked issues: on the one hand quantifying uncertainties in the prediction problem, on the other hand dealing with possible uncertainties present in the learning data.”
