Researchers report that their new #AI has, in a matter of months, conjured up dozens of GPCR-targeting antibody candidates, which promise to work as well as drugs that have spent years in the traditional pipeline. scim.ag/3S4gjwb

As a physicist, I seek to gain a mechanistic understanding of the functionality of the human brain and the resulting behavior. Depending on the resolution of the examined data, behavior is to be understood as an emergent phenomenon of the interactions of individual neurons, populations of neurons or whole brain regions. With the help of generative neural networks, I reconstruct empirical neuronal activity and use the resulting models as surrogates for the underlying dynamical system. They can then be used for in silico experiments to simulate the response of the brain to artificial conditions and thus draw conclusions about the physiology.
Besides that, I am interested in the development of deep learning models for the prediction of time series and the reconstruction of dynamical systems in general.
I spend my free time doing sports (running, hip hop, cycling) or let my thoughts run free while hiking. You can reach me at niklas.emonds@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de.
