Baumbach Lab

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:56:35 -0500

The Computational Biology research group was established in October 2012 at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). It emerged from the Computational Systems Biology group, founded in March 2010 at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPII) and the Cluster of Excellence for Multimodel Computing and Interaction (MMCI) at Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany.

The group is headed by Prof. Dr. Jan Baumbach and currently hosts nine PhD students and one postdoctoral fellow at both, IMADA/SDU and MMCI/MPII.

Look up a biological numbers

Jitendra Narayan — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 03:27:45 -0500

Did you ever need to look up a number like the volume of a cell or the cellular concentration of ATP, only to find yourself spending much more time than you wanted on the Internet or flipping through textbooks - all without much success?

Well, it didn’t happen only to you. It is often surprising how difficult it can be to find concrete biological numbers, even for properties that have been measured numerous times. To help solve this for one and all, BioNumbers (the database of key numbers in molecular biology) was created. Along with the numbers, you'll find the relevant references to the original literature, useful comments, and related numbers.

To cite BioNumbers please refer to: Milo et al. Nucl. Acids Res. (2010) 38: D750-D753. When using a specific entry from the database it is highly recommended that you also specify the BioNumbers 6 digit ID, e.g. "BNID 100986, Milo et al 2010".

Chang lab

Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:25:49 -0500

The Chang lab is focused on how the activities of hundreds or even thousands of genes (gene parties) are coordinated to achieve biological meaning. We have pioneered methods to predict, dissect, and control large-scale gene regulatory programs; these methods have provided insights into human development, cancer, and aging. A particular interest is how cells know and remember their locations in the body, particularly with the help of long noncoding RNAs.

Bioclues and Pine Biotech join forces to advance Bioinformatics in India

eliabrodsky — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:20:47 -0500

As a collaborative effort, the two organizations will help implement best practices in bioinformatics education across universities in Inida that have little to no experience in bioinformatics. The collaboration comes as Pine Biotech starts registrations for it's pilot program at Amity University in Kolkata, India.

Genetics for Fun and Profit: Andrew Hessel at TEDxVilnius

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:15:06 -0500

Andrew Hessel co-chairs the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology track at the Singularity University, an institution founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil and X Prize Foundation CEO Peter Diamandis, with sponsorship from world-leading organizations that include Google, Autodesk, and NASA. He is also the founder of the Pink Army Cooperative, a venture aiming to make open source personalized cancer therapies. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Futurist Magazine, H+, and Wired News. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Liu Lab
