About
Jakob Ruess is a researcher at Inria and 2022 ERC Starting Grant recipient specializing in computational modeling of single-cell biological systems. He is affiliated with the InBio project-team at Inria, where he develops mathematical approaches to understand cellular heterogeneity.
His research focuses on how randomness plays a crucial role in single-cell systems, explaining why identical cells can exhibit different dynamics. This behavioral heterogeneity has significant implications for understanding bacterial resistance to antibiotics and varying responses of cancer cells to treatments.
Ruess's work sits at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and biology, pioneering new modeling techniques for cellular processes. His ERC-funded research represents cutting-edge work in understanding stochastic phenomena in biological systems.
