Did lockdowns serve their purpose?
Serena Bradde, Benedetta Cerruti, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud
We show that the dynamics of the number of deaths due to Covid in different countries is to a large extent universal once the origin of time is chosen to be the start of the lockdo…
The size of the immune repertoire of bacteria
Serena Bradde, Armita Nourmohammad, Sidhartha Goyal +1
Some bacteria and archaea possess an immune system, based on the CRISPR-Cas mechanism, that confers adaptive immunity against phage. In such species, individual bacteria maintain a…
Cost and benefits of CRISPR spacer acquisition
Serena Bradde, Thierry Mora, Aleksandra M. Walczak
CRISPR-Cas mediated immunity in bacteria allows bacterial populations to protect themselves against pathogens. However, it also exposes them to the dangers of auto-immunity by deve…
Dynamics of adaptive immunity against phage in bacterial populations
Serena Bradde, Marija Vucelja, Tiberiu Tesileanu +1
The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) mechanism allows bacteria to adaptively defend against phages by acquiring short genomic sequences (spacers)…
The Generalized Arrhenius Law in Out of Equilibrium Systems
Serena Bradde, Giulio Biroli
In this work we provide a comprehensive analysis of the activation problem out of equilibrium. We generalize the Arrhenius law for systems driven by non conservative time independe…
Social interaction, noise and antibiotic-mediated switches in the intestinal microbiota
Vanni Bucci, Serena Bradde, Giulio Biroli +1
The intestinal microbiota plays important roles in digestion and resistance against entero-pathogens. As with other ecosystems, its species composition is resilient against small d…
