Meet UBC Principal Investigator Lucas Kaaij

How do you incorporate bioinformatics in your research? In my laboratory we aim to understand how 3D genome organization is regulated on a molecular level and how DNA folding in turn regulates cellular homeostasis while allowing differentiation to occur at the same time. We use a variety of genomics techniques, e.g. ChIP-seq,HiC, RNA-seq and NOMe-seq. […]

UBC looks back on successful 9th Annual UBC Symposium

Pitch talks The pitch talks predominantly delved into deep learning and machine learning, culminating in the announcement of a new groundbreaking paper by Jeroen de Ridder’s team at UMC Utrecht. Their paper, “Ultra-fast deep-learned CNS tumor classification during surgery”, was published in Nature on the same afternoon. The paper describes a revolutionary AI technology that […]

Meet UBC Board member Kevin Kenna

Why do we need bioinformatics to understand plant-microbe interactions? The CNS is extremely complex, it’s workings are one of the greatest mysteries in science. Unsurprisingly, we are therefore seeing that significant knowledge gains in our understanding of the CNS are increasingly being achieved through novel integrative analyses of large datasets. Some of the most impactful […]
