Life, reimagined: Building a new biology from the ground up through synthetic cells

2026-06-04T10:49:03+01:00

This event is open to staff and students across 51�Թ��.

Hosted by Dr Yuval Elani, Department of Chemical Engineering, this presentation forms a part of his Lister Research Prize Fellowship, conferred by the Lister Institute.

Synthetic Cells as an Alternative Paradigm for Biological Engineering

Synthetic biology is poised to be one of the defining technologies of our time with the potential to transform how we treat disease, monitor our environments, and manufacture chemicals. Over recent decades, remarkable progress has been made in “re-engineering” living cells to give them new functions. However, engineering living systems differs fundamentally from the design of traditional engineered systems, such as software, electronics, or mechanical devices. Biology is impossibly complex, adaptive, and often unpredictable, making it a uniquely challenging medium for engineering. As we push toward more ambitious applications, these challenges are becoming increasingly apparent.

In this talk, I will describe our efforts to address these limitations by developing a new approach to engineering biology. Rather than modifying existing living cells, we seek to construct encapsulated chemical microsystems—synthetic cells—from first principles, starting from molecular building blocks. We aim to programme these synthetic cells with behaviours typically associated with living systems, such as communication, signalling, bioproduction, motility and stimulus–response. I will also discuss our microfluidic technologies for the scalable manufacture of synthetic cells and related lipid-based drug delivery systems.

In-person session – Bloating workshop

2026-05-26T11:56:49+01:00

Join us for an intimate, evidence-based workshop exploring one of the most common digestive symptoms experienced by adults in the UK: bloating.

In this small-group session, we’ll take a deep dive into gut health, exploring the many possible causes of bloating and why symptoms can vary so widely from person to person. You’ll learn how to better identify your own symptom patterns, understand potential triggers, and gain practical insight into what your body may be telling you.

The session will include a 20-minute evidence-based Gut-Directed Hypnosis session designed specifically to support bloating management. Gut-Directed Hypnosis is a well-established, evidence-based intervention for disorders of gut–brain interaction, including IBS, and can be a powerful tool in supporting digestive health.

This session will be delivered by Clementine Vaughan, London-based HCPC-registered dietitian and the founder of Third Sister, a women’s nutrition practice. She holds a BSc in Neuroscience from the University of Bristol, an MSc in Nutrition and a PG Dip in Dietetics from King’s College London, and has been a practising registered dietitian since 2017.

I-X Seminar Series: Understanding Data, Noise, and Uncertainty in Neural Networks with Kamil Ciosek

2026-05-13T10:13:10+01:00

Abstract:

This talk explores how the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) can be used as a practical lens for understanding data influence, noise, and uncertainty in modern neural networks. Rather than focusing only on predictive accuracy, we study how individual training examples affect predictions, how models behave under noisy observations, and how to quantify when predictions should be trusted. Building on the well-established NTK connection between neural networks, kernel methods, and Gaussian processes, we present three results: an information theoretic approach to data attribution, a characterization of how regularization corresponds to observation noise in wide networks, and an efficient method for uncertainty estimation that captures more structure than standard last layer approaches while remaining computationally practical. Together, these results show how the NTK perspective can provide simple and interpretable tools for reasoning about model behaviour beyond accuracy.

Bio:

Kamil Ciosek is a researcher working on the theory and practice of machine learning, with interests spanning Neural Tangent Kernels, Gaussian process perspectives on neural networks, Bayesian uncertainty estimation in deep learning, and calibration. His recent work studies the connections between wide neural networks and Gaussian processes, including the role of NTK features in Bayesian inference and uncertainty quantification. Separately, he has also worked on calibration of predictive models, including both first-order and second-order calibration methods. Kamil is currently a Senior Research Scientist at Spotify and previously held research positions at Microsoft Research Cambridge and the University of Oxford. He received his PhD in Machine Learning from UCL.

There will be a networking opportunity following this talk. If you would like to attend, please complete the registration form. Registration will close on Tuesday 16 June at 1200.

Statistics Seminar: Vicky Kouni (LAMSADE lab, Paris Dauphine)

2026-06-19T13:24:56+01:00

Abstract: We study adversarial robustness, i.e., resilience of neural networks to small input perturbations, in the context of unfolding and frame theory. In the first part of the talk, we examine unfolding networks, which emerge from reformulating outputs of iterative algorithms as neural networks outputs, to solve inverse problems. As such, unfolding networks are applied in critical domains, e.g., medical imaging, where robustness is crucial to prevent catastrophic failures. We provide the first adversarial generalization error bounds for unfolding networks, perturbed during training and test times, highlighting how the network architecture ripples out to its generalization ability. Our experimental results conform with our derived theory and showcase the beneficial role of overparameterization to the network robustness. In the second part of the talk, we introduce a methodology for creating structured adversarial attacks, that highly hurt robustness, even of adversarially trained networks. Our approach hinges upon tools from frame theory – in particular, overcomplete spatial-frequency transforms, which are popular tools for image processing tasks. By representing the attacks with respect to these transforms, we improve their effectiveness, even across unseen, target models. We assess the quality of our method on standardized datasets and models, with results showcasing that our proposed attack outperforms the examined baselines and exposes vulnerabilities even of defended models, while highly preserving visual structure.
