  New Marie Curie Scientia Fellow

  We are very excited to announce that Daniel Osorio received a Marie Curie Scientia Fellowship and will join our group this spring as a postdoctoral fellow. Daniel received his PhD from Texas A&M University, where he worked in Dr. James J. Cai's group on method development for single-cell RNA-sequencing data analysis. In his postdoctoral project, Daniel will be developing computational tools to integrate multi-omic and multimodal single-cell data...

  New BioRχiv pre-print

  We're happy to share a new BioRχiv pre-print by the group, which was work done in collaboration the Quackenbush group. We used large-scale genomic network modeling approaches PANDA and LIONESS to model networks for individual glioblastoma patients, and identified regulation of PD1 signaling to be associated with glioblastoma outcome. More information on the pre-print can be found here.

  Two CS publications

  We recently contributed to a Computer Science publication in IEEE Access as well as a conference proceeding in the 26th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining. Both publications consider subtyping analysis on cancer mutation data, and were done in collaboration with Wei Ding and Ping Chen's groups from the UMASS Boston. See also our lists of publications and conference proceedings....

  New publication

  We're happy to have contributed to a new publication in Frontiers in Genetics, which was done in collaboration with researchers from the University of Paris-Saclay, INRAE, CNRS. Maud Fagny modeled enhancer-driven regulatory networks for different maize tissues. This led to the discovery of tissue-specific regulatory modules involved in distinct functions related to the biology of each tissue, as well as the identification of transposable elements that...
