As part of his role as Co-Delegate for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, Rory helped organise the Bench2Biz "pre-seed workshop", an event designed to help 10 young scientists develop innovative products based on their research. It was a fun and intense two days! See h...
Rory just got back from a wonderful experience at the China Nucleic Acids Forum (CNAF) in Guangzhou, China (https://www.cnaf.org.cn/en/) with some fascinating talks on RNA in biology and disease. He presented GOLD Lab's latest work on the search for long noncoding RNA...
Hugo, Panos, Carlos and Andres just completed two super days teaching the Bern/Fribourg Bioinformatics MSc students. They were a fun and very motivated group, and every year the class gets bigger!
Congratulations to Judith for publishing her MSc thesis work in Bioinformatics (link here). CASPR is the first pipeline capable of identifying hits from both single and paired sgRNA CRISPR pooled screen experiments. CASPR can be downloaded here.
Rory just got back from a very enjoyable and positive Scientific Advisory Board meeting at the EBI in Hinxton. It was hugely satisfying to see the latest progress in gene annotation (including lncRNAs), which is a fundamental resource for so many colleagues worldwide.
GOLD Lab members had the pleasure to teach students from the MSc in Bioinformatics at the University of Bern once again. We shared our knowledge on Cancer Genomics and Long Noncoding RNA Transcriptomics with all of them
First graduated PhD of the GOLD-Lab. Congratulations Joana for your work on «Classification and functional prediction of long noncoding RNAs: Understanding lncRNAs through subcellular localization»
