  Three new students

  Today, we are welcoming three new students in the group: Arturo Kenzuke Nakamura Garcia, Patricio López Sánchez, and Ine Bonthuis. Arturo and Patrick are PhD and MSc students from the group of Jesús Espinal-Enríquez at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) in Mexico. Their work concerns single-sample network analysis in cancer and are joining the group as exchange students on scholarships from Mexico. Ine...

  New publication

  We recently published our latest work, led by Tatiana, in NAR Cancer. Tatiana developed a computational approach, called PORCUPINE, to map heterogeneity in individual patient gene regulatory networks and applied it to study leiomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that can develop in smooth muscle tissue.

  Ismael is back!

  We are happy to welcome Ismael Manzanares Garcia back in the group. Ismael recently completed his studies in biochemistry at the University of Granada, Spain. This summer, he will be working with Romana to test dimensionality reduction approaches on various network metrics that he will calculate for individual patient gene regulatory network models. Previously (summer 2022), Ismael was an Erasmus+ student working with Giulia on deconvolution of...

  New BioRχiv pre-print

  We have a new BioRχiv pre-print as part of a collaboration with researchers from The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø, and contributions from several group members. We modeled co-expression networks to investigate the transcriptional response to tumor necrosis factor alpha in endothelial cells. The pre-print can be found here. For more information on the pre-print, see also our current list of preprints.
