Automatic tracking of protein vesicles
With the advance of fluorescence imaging technologies, recently cell biologists are able to record the movement of protein vesicles within a living cell. Automatic tracking of the movements of these vesicles become key for qualitative analysis of dynamics of theses vesicles. In this thesis, we formulate such tracking problem as video object tracking problem, and design a dynamic programming method for tracking single object. Our experiments on simulation data show that the method can identify a track with high accuracy which is robust to the choose of tracking parameters and presence of high level noise. We then extend this method to the tracking multiple objects using the track elimination strategy. In multiple object tracking, the above approach often fails to correctly identify a track when two tracks cross. We solve this problem by incorporating the Kalman filter into the dynamic programming framework. Our experiments on simulated data show that the tracking accuracy is significantly improved.

Growth and instability of a phospholipid vesicle in a bath of fatty acids
Using a microfluidic trap, we study the behavior of individual phospholipid vesicles in contact with fatty acids. We show that spontaneous fatty acids insertion inside the bilayer is controlled by the vesicle size, osmot…
Protein Co-Enrichment Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles
Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) carry cell-derived proteins that confer functionality and selective cell uptake. However, whether proteins are packaged stochastically or co-enriched within individual EVs, and whether co-enr…
Learning Nanoscale Motion Patterns of Vesicles in Living Cells
Detecting and analyzing nanoscale motion patterns of vesicles, smaller than the microscope resolution ( 250 nm), inside living biological cells is a challenging problem. State-of-the-art CV approaches based on detection,…

Intraneural accumulation of misfolded proteins is a common feature of several neurodegenerative pathologies including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Familial Encephalopathy with Neuroserpin Inclusion Bodies (F…
Renewal reward perspective on linear switching diffusion systems
In many biological systems, the movement of individual agents is commonly characterized as having multiple qualitatively distinct behaviors that arise from various biophysical states. This is true for vesicles in intrace…
