Journal Article
Stability of linear Boolean networks
We characterize the stability of linear Boolean networks in terms of Derrida curves, phase transition thresholds, and formulae for the number of attractor states of a network and the number of bijective networks.

AI SCHOLARSHIP
Racial-ethnic disparities in the survival outcomes of lung transplant patients
Abhinav Penmetcha, a junior pre-med student working with Cory Brunson, has been selected into the AI Scholars Program coordinated by the Center for Undergraduate Research. His project will focus on identifying and interpreting determinants of clinical outcomes following lung transplantation.

Award
Intersect Fellowship for Computational Scientists and Immunologists
The American Association of Immunologists awarded Borna Mehrad, Matthew Wheeler, and Reinhard Laubenbacher an Intersect Fellowship for their project “Modeling the neutrophil response to Aspergillus”.

Current Research Projects
MARK TERASAKI, JASON CORY BRUNSON, KRISTINA SUAREZ
Structure and development of glomerular capillaries
Topological modeling and simulation lend insight into the structure, development, function, and resilience of glomerular capillary networks.

YARA SKAF, OSAMA DASA, JASON CORY BRUNSON
Exploring Clinical Outcomes using Topological Data Analysis
In this project, we demonstrate how topological data analysis can be used to visualize, explore, and characterize large and complex biomedical data such as electronic health records.

LUIS SORDO VIEIRA, CAROL A. MATHEWS
Predicting Populations At-Risk of Developing Pathological Hoarding
This study will identify risk-factors for developing troublesome hoarding by integrating and analyzing clinical interviews and a web-based registry of adults that includes various medical and cognitive questionnaires and neurocognitive.

HENRIQUE DE ASSIS L RIBEIRO, ADAM C KNAPP, LUIS L FONSECA
Multi-scale Modeling of the Immune Response to Aspergillus Fumigatus
Multi-scale agent-based modeling of the immune response and battle over iron in Aspergillus fumigatus infection.
