Role: Development of techniques to predict singularity cells
Purpose:
Some singularity phenomena are known such as the emergence of leader-like and follower-like cells, that is, leader cells lead the neighboring cells and follower cells move on with the lead among cells, and the persistence toward antibiotics depending on the phenotypic differences such as the amount of intracellular protein. However, their mechanism is not yet certain. In our project, we develop an information analysis platform to answer the following questions; “Can we identify the singularity? By observing what? How to analyze?”, in other words, “How can we quantify, extract, and predict the singularity cells from time series data set of large amounts of features?”.
