Abstract:
This talk summarizes modeling
studies carried out in my group, which elucidate the role of
stochastic dynamics in transcription regulation and signal
transduction. In particular, we argue that stochasticity plays a
major role in making signaling pathways robust to fluctuations in
signal level. The main biological object we studied is the NFkB
regulatory module.
