    Learning dynamical models from biological data with simulation-based inference

    How do patterns in space and time emerge from molecular interactions in living systems? Answering this question is challenging even when the molecular participants in processes of interest are well-characterized because feedbacks are difficult to intuit and quantitative shifts in molecular features and populations can result in qualitative differences in patterns. Ever-increasing amounts of data now present the opportunity to evaluate models quantitatively, and simulation-based inference provides a principled approach. However, its use remains limited in cell biological contexts. I will discuss my group's recent efforts to use simulation-based inference---including recent advances that incorporate machine learning---to learn dynamical models of cell signaling in circadian and developmental contexts and show that simulation-based inference can reveal unanticipated mechanisms, in addition to quantitative insights.
