;Abstract
:The processes by which a cell senses and responds to its environment are exceedingly complex and have so far withstood attempts to obtain a predictive understanding of them.  In this lecture, we will examine how the study of cellular decision making can be aided by feedback control theory, a branch of engineering that has enabled the analysis and design of complex man-made systems, such as planes, trains and automobiles.

Professor Iglesias will be introduced by Dr. Ilya Nemenman, Staff Scientist, Los Alamos National Laboratory.
