Background
In my research, I think about genetic interactions. We usually think about interactions between pairs of genes, but what does an interaction between three genes look like? Do these higher-order interactions affect the behaviour of cells? I try to answer these questions by combining intuition from physics, knowledge from biology, and techniques from mathematics.
