🚨 Could treating less and resting more be the key to smarter #cancer therapies? 💡💊 Our latest preprint shows how math models can shape intermittent therapies to exploit cancer #persisters and achieve better outcomes.

Very proud of our students at the first IICII Summer School in Quantitative Biology. ifom.eu/events/2024-summersc…
6/6 student groups performed successful Luria-Delbrück fluctuation tests with excellent data.
Presentations tomorrow!

Direct single-cell observation of a key Escherichia coli cell-cycle oscillator | Science Advances
Our paper on the coupling of the oscillations in DnaA activity and expression with cell size is now published !
A great ongoing collaboration with @SPCGgroup.
