In this talk, I will present our recent advances in 3D single-molecule tracking of dynamics and super-resolution imaging of nanoscale structures throughout mammalian cells, and showcase applications of our approaches for cellular imaging. I will describe our developments of light sheet microscopy platforms that reduce fluorescence background, photobleaching, and the risk of photodamaging sensitive samples. Combined with point spread function (PSF) engineering for nanoscale localization of individual molecules in 3D, deep learning for analysis of overlapping emitters, and a novel 3D nanoprinted microfluidic chip for environmental control, these platforms enable whole-cell multi-target 3D single-molecule super-resolution imaging with improved accuracy, precision, and imaging speed. I will also highlight our recent developments and applications of dCas9-based labels that enable flexible, long-term tracking of endogenous, non-repetitive genomic loci in live human cells with excellent spatiotemporal resolution. Using this approach, we demonstrate correlative tracking of gene dynamics and transcription for improved understanding of gene regulation. I will further showcase studies of disease mechanisms and novel therapies for the premature aging disorder Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Together, these imaging technologies provide a versatile toolkit for quantitative studies of molecular dynamics, nanoscale structures, and molecular mechanisms, enabling new insights into a broad range of chemical, biological, and biomedical questions related to cellular function and pathogenesis.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio: </strong>Dr. Gustavsson joined the faculty at Rice University in 2020 as a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research and the Norman Hackerman-Welch Young Investigator Chair.

Clinical reasoning exemplifies the latter: physicians generate hypotheses abductively, revise beliefs probabilistically as evidence accumulates, and choose among actions whose costs are deeply asymmetric. The harm of a missed diagnosis is not the harm of an unnecessary test. Large language models, increasingly deployed for clinical decision support, inherit this limitation. They conflate knowledge with inference: the same parameters that store medical facts are asked to reason over them, which leaves no explicit mechanism to quantify uncertainty, to abstain when evidence is insufficient, or to weight outcomes by their true clinical costs. This work argues that progress toward trustworthy medical AI requires separating the representation of knowledge from the machinery of inference, and grounding the latter in formal frameworks drawn from statistical decision theory. We investigate how these frameworks can be embedded into LLM reasoning pipelines and imposed as external scaffolding around them, maintaining competing hypotheses, guiding evidence gathering, and selecting actions that reflect the asymmetric cost structure of clinical practice. The goal is a class of systems capable of reasoning over their uncertainty, systems that know when they do not know.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\ncoming soon","image_description":"Reasoning Under Uncertainty: Trustworthy LLMs for High-Stakes Medicine","creation_date":"2026-04-29T09:21:38","last_modification_date":"2026-04-29T09:21:38","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"INF 326","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==INF%20326","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":[],"speaker":"Yusuf Kesmen","organizer":"","contact":"edic@epfl.ch","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Tout public","en_label":"General public"},"registration":{"id":3,"fr_label":"Entrée libre","en_label":"Free"},"keywords":"EDIC candidacy exam","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120579/","category":{"id":1,"code":"CONF","fr_label":"Conférences - Séminaires","en_label":"Conferences - Seminars","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=json"]},{"id":71838,"title":"Composable Performance Interfaces with Controlled Resolution","slug":"composable-performance-interfaces-with-controlled","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/composable-performance-interfaces-with-controlled","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33158/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33158/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33158/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-06-26","end_date":"2026-06-26","start_time":"11:15:00","end_time":"13:15:00","description":"<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Nate Foster<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. George Candea<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Rachid Guerraoui<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\ncoming soon<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\ncoming soon","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-05-08T16:49:17","last_modification_date":"2026-05-08T16:49:17","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"INN 326","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==INN%20326","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":[],"speaker":"Alexandre Piveteau","organizer":"","contact":"edic@epfl.ch","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Tout public","en_label":"General public"},"registration":{"id":3,"fr_label":"Entrée libre","en_label":"Free"},"keywords":"EDIC candidacy exam","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120704/","category":{"id":1,"code":"CONF","fr_label":"Conférences - Séminaires","en_label":"Conferences - Seminars","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=json"]},{"id":71809,"title":"SERI – Leading House MENA | Research Partnership Grants 2026","slug":"seri-leading-house-mena-research-partnership-gra-3","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/seri-leading-house-mena-research-partnership-gra-3","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33132/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33132/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33132/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-06-26","end_date":"2026-06-26","start_time":null,"end_time":null,"description":"<strong>Aim:</strong><br>\r\nThis instrument aims to strengthen collaboration between researchers based in Switzerland and those in partner countries from the MENA region.
