We are happy to welcome to the group Kiley Hewitt, a Computer Science junior at the Allegheny College. Kiley will work with us over the summer. Her project is about developing algorithms for analysis of scRNA-seq data using causal modeling. Welcome Kiley!
The Benos Lab received an R01 grant to study the molecular changes that occur in people with alcoholic hepatitis and develop predictors of disease outcomes. This is a collaboration between our lab and the labs of Gavin Arteel and Michael Merchant.
Congratulations to Haopu for the acceptance of his Editorial article in the Annals of Translational Medicine. The article comments how causal inference algorithms can be used to predict the risk of ventilation-induced kidney injury. The title of the Editorial is: “Protecting the lungs but hurting the kidneys: causal inference study for …
Congratulations to Vineet for the acceptance of his paper by the Nucleic Acids Research (2020 Web Server issue). The paper is entitled “CausalMGM: An interactive web-based causal discovery tool” and describes the new web server our group put together in collaboration with the group of Prof. Panos Chrysanthis. Vineet was a graduate …
Congratulations to Giorgio Bertolazzi, a former visitor to our group, for the acceptance of his paper by the BMC Bioinformatics. This paper is a collaboration Claudia Coronnello, a BenosLab alumna and Giorgio’s advisor. It is entitled “An improvement of ComiR algorithm for microRNA target prediction by exploiting coding region sequences of mRNAs” …
