Cancer and Genome: Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Epidemiology of Complex Systems (U900)
Our Unit studies several aspects of cancer pathology and treatments, focusing on the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms: initiation (estimation of cancer risks, including genetic and non-genetic factors, optimisation of patient follow-up strategies)

Next generation molecular tumor boards: systems biology and functional precision medicine
Clinical oncology, computer science, and molecular biology are today united at the molecular tumor boards that provide clinical decision support to physicians and patients. I will present some learnings from the first two years of a nation-wide molecular tumor board in Norway, and how this is aligned with the research strategy in my group where we study systems biology approaches to predict drug r

Personalising cancer risk prediction for prevention and early detection
Much more reliable and powerful cancer risk prediction be achieved by combining data on all known genetic, lifestyle and hormonal risk factors for the disease. We have recently enabled multifactorial breast and ovarian cancer risk-assessment through the CanRisk tool (www.canrisk.org) which allows healthcare professionals to obtain personalised cancer risks easily. A novel prostate cancer risk pred

A Spatial Transcriptomics Odyssey - 2nd Seminar : Development of computational methods for the analysis of spatial transcriptomic data in lung tissue
U900 Unit is happy to announce the creation of a new seminar entitled "A Spatial Transcriptomics Odyssey". The scope of this seminar is to share how people working with spatial transcriptomics data are navigating them, from technological advances to the developpement of computational tools, as well as to exchange news in the field through a journal club. It thus encourages researche

Learning from DNA sequences: from convolutional neural networks to transformer architectures
DNA is often referred to as the instruction book of life. No matter how much we agree, it nevertheless contains the description of the coding genes and a multiplicity of regulatory elements, from transcription factors to miRNAs. Furthermore, deep learning techniques have been developed and improved in recent years, from convolutional networks to recurrent and long short-term memory networks. The r
