Thrilled to share that I've completed the "Algorithms on Strings" course from the University of California San Diego! In this course, I delved into advanced concepts and techniques for processing and analyzing string data, including: - Pattern matching algorithms - Suffix trees and arrays - String compression - Bioinformatics applications This knowledge is invaluable for tackling complex problems in data analysis and bioinformatics. Grateful for the excellent instruction and support throughout the course! #Algorithms #StringAlgorithms #UCSD #DataAnalysis #Bioinformatics

I am thrilled to share the certificate I received from the editors of Computational Biology and Chemistry. I am so proud to be an Elsevier reviewer. It brings me joy to contribute to the bioinformatics community by reviewing research articles that present the recent advancements in Bioinformatics, System Biology, and Statistical Machine Learning. #elsevier #bioinformatics #systembiology #machinelearning

Here is my first certificate in Bioinformatics

♨ I attended a hands-on workshop on molecular docking tools and techniques was an enriching and invaluable experience! 🧬✨ Over the course of the workshop, I had the opportunity to delve into the latest methodologies in molecular docking, enhancing my skills in computational chemistry and bioinformatics. 🖥️🔬 The interactive sessions provided a deep dive into the principles and applications of molecular docking, allowing me to gain practical experience with industry-standard software such as AutoDock, Dock, and Schrödinger. 🛠️💡 #MolecularDocking # #Bioinformatics # #ComputationalChemistry # #ProfessionalDevelopment # #LifelongLearning#

Dear all, The ISCB - International Society for Computational Biology Academy webinar on Thursday, November 9 at 11 am EDT will be hosted by the ISCB Education COSI.   Stephen Piccolo, from the Brigham Young University, will talk about “Empirical evaluations of large language models for bioinformatics education and research” (see the abstract below). You will find the information on how to connect at https://lnkd.in/d8nEJuCg. Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have ignited great interest in the bioinformatics community. Many of us are interested in their potential uses (and misuses?) in research and education. The Piccolo Lab is undertaking empirical research to answer three such questions. 1) How well can LLMs translate human-language prompts into functional computer code? 2) How well can LLMs translate code snippets from one programming language to another? 3) How effectively can LLMs act as virtual assistants to students who are learning to write code? We have addressed each of these questions in the context of introductory bioinformatics and biostatistics education at the undergraduate level. In this seminar, I will describe our findings and discuss potential practical implications for education and research.

Excited to share my recent accomplishment! I have completed a comprehensive Bioinformatics course on Udemy and received my certificate! 🎓 The course covered: Biological Databases: - NCBI Nucleotide Database: Nucleotide sequences. - PDB (Protein Data Bank): 3D structures of biological molecules. Sequence Alignment: - Dot Matrix Method: Visual sequence comparison. - Algorithmic Dynamic Programming: Efficient sequence alignment. - BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool): Sequence comparison. - T-COFFEE: Multiple sequence alignment. Genomic Bioinformatics: - Markov Models: Predicting sequence probabilities. Structural Bioinformatics: 3D structures and functions of macromolecules. Evolutionary Bioinformatics: Evolutionary relationships of biological entities. Excited to apply my new skills and contribute to good research. #Bioinformatics #Udemy #LifelongLearning #NCBI #PDB #SequenceAlignment #Genomics #StructuralBioinformatics #EvolutionaryBioinformatics

Meet Sara Fumagalli, our brainiac third-year PhD student who's the backbone of our team's bioinformatics branch. A self-taught coding and data analyst, she's unshaken by challenges, drawing strength from her five-year odyssey through Ancient Greek and Latin (well, that’s what she said 👀). Currently, Sara is based in the Dr. Valles Colomer's research group at UPF, Barcelona, both advancing her research on the #human #skin #microbiome and unraveling the intricacies of #microbiome #transmission between humans and environments. And hey, if you want to win her over, a cinephile chat and a pastry treat will seal the deal! 👾 #BiomeResearchTeam #scientificresearch #phdstudent #unimib #microbiome #bioinformatics
