Bram Danneels is our new Postdoctoral Fellow who has joined the CBU as part of the EBP-Nor project to help develop tools and pipelines for the efficient and high-throughput assembly and annotation of the eukaryotic target species, under supervision of Michael Dondrup and professor Inge Jonassen. Bram got his PhD in Bioinformatics at Ghent University. …
Aura Zelco is excited to start her master thesis project at CBU as an Erasmus trainee. Aura is a MSc Bioinformatics student at Lund University (Sweden) and will work under the supervision of CBU group leader Anagha Madhusudan Joshi-Michoel. In her project, she will characterize sex-specific differences in brain at a single cell level using several public datasets, with …
CBU group leader, Markus Miettinen, together with the co-authors published a perspective paper “Emerging Era of Biomolecular Membrane Simulations: Automated Physically-Justifed Force Field Development and Quality-Evaluated Databanks” in which they discuss the current status of all-atom simulations of biomembranes, and outline their view on how these should be further developed by harnessing large databanks and …
Finally we could meet physically at Solstrand hotel after two years. We thank all participants and Trond Mohn Foundation for making it a great event!
We welcome Gutama Ibrahim who joins the Michoel group as a PhD student. Gutama has a master degree in Applied Physics and Mathematics from the University of Tromsø. He will work on the project “Intelligent systems for personalized and precise risk prediction and diagnosis of non-communicable diseases”, where he will develop new machine learning methods …
Meet our new PhD, Tobias Rindfleisch, who will be a member of the Miettinen group at the Department of Chemistry. He will focus on testing and developing molecular dynamics models of intrinsically disordered proteins against NMR relaxation data. Tobias holds MSc in Bioinformatics from University of Potsdam (Germany).
CBU Spring potluck party took place on 31st of March. It has been long since CBU have had a party due to Corona restrictions. It was so nice to be able to gather together with colleagues again. Lots of fun and good food. Ammar is a best dish winner and Pål is a Kahoot winner.
We are congratulating Iain George Johnston and the coauthors with the paper that has recently come out: “Symmetry and simplicity spontaneously emerge from the algorithmic nature of evolution”
The project “New technologies for target discovery in neuropsychiatric disorders” was selected for funding in the Technological Convergence Related to Enabling Technologies call of the Norwegian Research Council. The project will be led by Jan Haavik with CBU group leader Tom Michoel as a partner. The group of Tom Michoel will be responsible for integrating large-scale …
CBU group leader Eivind Valen and Emma Haapaniemi from NCMM got the grant for the project “CRISPR-Cas9 corrected T cells for personalized therapy”. It aims to develop novel methods for personalized gene therapy. Specifically, they will create a computational and clinical CRISPR-Cas9-based editing platform for primary immunodeficiency disease therapy. The project will provide both specific therapies for these diseases …
