Abstract: GBM is characterized by intratumoral heterogeneity. Tumor heterogeneity, clonal diversity and mutation acquisition hamper the ability to tailor personalized therapy for GBM. Tumor sampling has limited ability to accurately capture the molecular landscape of the tumor and to disclose acquired molecular aberrations. ...

Milana Frenkel-Morgenstern

Head of the “Cancer Genomics and BioComputing in Complex Diseases” group in the Azrieli faculty of Medicine, Bar-Ilan University

Abstract: Cardiovascular death is the main cause of mortality in developed countries. Current diagnosis and predictive tools are still insufficient due to low cost-accuracy ratios. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely available and cheap tool that reflects the electrical activity of the heart. In this talk, I will give an ...

Julia Ramírez

Marie Curie Research Fellow Lecturer in Cardiovascular Data Science Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)

Abstract: Demographic biases are widely affecting artificial intelligence. In particular, gender bias is clearly spread in natural language processing applications, e.g. from stereotyped translations to poorer speech recognition for women than for men. In this talk, I am going to overview the research and challenges that are ...

Abstract: Public hospitals in Chile have waiting lists for specialty consultations that are both numerous and with long waiting times. The reason for referral is in the form of unstructured text and therefore it is hard for authorities to know what diseases are being consulted. As a way to automate this process and potentiate ...

Abstract: The genetic causes of cancer include both somatic mutations and inherited germline variants. Large-scale tumor sequencing has revolutionized the identification of somatic driver alterations but has had limited impact on the identification of cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Here we present a statistical method, ...

Systematic discovery of germline cancer predisposition genes through large-scale cancer genomics

Speaker:

Solip Park

Computational Cancer Genomics Group Leader, CNIO

Abstract: Gene regulation is driven by the interaction of regulatory sequences, commonly categorized as either enhancers or promoters. Recently, using a modification of the STARR-seq assay, we identified sets of promoters with enhancer potential. Given that the majority of genetic variants associated with human diseases and ...

Abstract: Mostcardiovascular (CV) risk scores used in clinical practice predict the probability of CV events using information on the seven traditional cardiovascular risk factors: age, gender, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking and diabetes. These scores, however, fail to identify young, healthy individuals ...

Abstract: Cross-species differences form barriers to translational research that ultimately hinder the success of clinical trials, yet knowledge of species differences has yet to be systematically incorporated in the interpretation of animal models. We developed a machine learning model that leverages human and mouse public ...

Abstract: Cancer is a global health issue with a mortality rate that is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades (World Health Organization). Despite the significant breakthroughs in its understanding, prevention, and treatment, cancer’s complexity slows the quest for its cure. The advent of high-throughput ...
