I am thrilled to share that I got a tenure position Universitetet i Oslo! On March 1st, I will start as the Associate Director of @NCMMnews UiO - Det medisinske fakultet and as a 20% adjunct Professor II at Centre for Bioinformatics, University of Oslo @unioslo_mn. I will also continue as a 20% adjunct researcher Oslounivsykehus.

Would you like to develop your own research line, on the interface of network science, computational tool development, and cancer research? Apply to a postdoctoral position in my group and be the next addition to our collaborative and diverse team! jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

A 4-year PhD fellowship in Informatics/Bioinformatics is available at Centre for Bioinformatics, University of Oslo as part of @UiO_LifeSci. The projects will focus on synthetic data generation, applied machine learning and benchmarking within molecular life sciences: jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…. Please RT.

Last week, WP3 leads Macha Nikolski CNRS 🌍 & Eivind Hovig Universitetet i Oslo held a #hackathon on a biomarker-oriented clinical trial database schema, w/ participants from EOSC4Cancer UNCAN.eu CAN.HEAL. David Tamborero Karolinska Institutet presented current work on database schema definition.

Read about HPV mutations and cancer, and our research in this article (in Norwegian): titan.uio.no/livsvitenskap/…

BioNumPy has been updated with changes that make it a lot easier to work with genomic intervals and data on a reference genome 😀 Here are a few cool examples to illustrate the new stuff:

Our updated deep #viral sequencing protocol, now including more #HPV types and #SARSCoV2, is published. Detailed protocol available on protocols.io. virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our perspective on adapting LMs for protein sequences with the help of linguistic knowledge is now out in Nature Machine Intelligence. Led by Mai Ha, 🧍‍♂️ and Philippe A. Robert. Great collboration with Bartlomiej Swiatczak, Geir Kjetil Sandve and Dag Haug. nature.com/articles/s4225…

Excited to share this work by our master student Jørgen Henriksen! The initial idea was to see whether our previously published genotyper KAGE could benefit from GPU acceleration. And it definitely could! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (small thread)

Very reassuring to see that almost all #RECOMB2023 talks include assessment on simulated data, even hearing "of course - since only way to have ground truth". At other venues hardly any bioinformatician could be bothered to investigate methods in fully controlled settings (1/3)

Excited to host Julien Gagneur gagneurlab for Sven Furberg webinar on May 4, 2pm. He will talk abt "Detecting and predicting aberrant splicing in human and Species-aware DNA language modeling."

We're excited to share our manuscript describing COBIND, a novel tool for the identification of transcription factor co-binding patterns with non-negative matrix factorization biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/9

Did you know that you can measure host #microRNA in the gut? and in #colorectal cancer #FIT screening samples, used by millions world-wide? medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢Oslo tweeps, we are looking forward to seeing you for the NCMM seminar @NCMMnews on June 6th at 12noon for Boris Lenhard's lecture! Lots of exciting science ahead! UiO - Det medisinske fakultet @UiO_LifeSci Centre for Bioinformatics, University of Oslo @unioslo_mn

I am happy to announce that our most recent study is now published in NAR Cancer: academic.oup.com/narcancer/arti… 🥳 authored by Tatiana Belova, Nicola Biondi, and Ping-Han Hsieh in collaboration with Pavlo Lutsik and Priya Chudasama!

🎉 Happy 70th Birthday to Eivind Hovig! 🎂🥳 Your outstanding contributions to #bioinformatics have paved the way for groundbreaking research in Norway and beyond. 🧬🇳🇴 Your dedication and expertise are invaluable to us, Universitetet i Oslo, @UiO_LifeSci & Oslounivsykehus. 🏆🔬

Very excited that our work on the plasticity of antibody developability is out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Led by Habib Bashour Eva Smorodina Matteo Pariset Jahn Zhong e/🧬. See 🧵⬇️ for a detailed walk-through.

KAGE2 is out! Enables very fast and accurate genotyping of structural variants using pangenomes: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. I’ve spent the last 6+ months going deep into the SV rabbit hole, and had some surprises I thought it’s worth to also share (1/6)

Looking for a postdoc in my group @NCMMnews Nordic EMBL P'ship UiO - Det medisinske fakultet @unioslo_mn Centre for Bioinformatics, University of Oslo to enhance computational resources for regulatory genomics (JASPAR & UniBind) with deep learning.
