@ioriolab.bsky.social
we mix informatics/biology/functional-genomics to identify new therapeutic targets/markers, for cancer and other human diseases. we ❤️ CRISPR, statistics and ML
@eurocancerdepmap.bsky.social, hosted by Francesco (alongside Pedro Beltrao from ETH Zurich, and Evangelia Petsalaki and Isidro Cortés-Ciriano from EMBL-EBI) at @humantechnopole.bsky.social, has concluded. Great speakers delivered breakthroughs that advance #cancer genomics across #Europe! 🏛️🧬

Delighted to host Traver Hart (MD Anderson Cancer Center), who delivered an engaging seminar on synthetic lethality at #HumanTechnopole. He showed how bridging #CRISPR and predictive modeling can advance design and interpretation of genetic interaction screens and inform new therapeutic strategies.

Francesco Iorio’s invited talk highlights how we integrate clinically relevant mutational profiles with CRISPR functional genomics data to uncover vulnerabilities associated with mutations currently considered non-actionable, expanding potential therapeutic opportunities.

Vanessa Spagnolo presents how we dissect cancer dependencies using CRISPR functional genomics, and how we are applying these approaches across multiple projects in our lab to identify new therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Nevenka Radic is showcasing our work charting the genetic dependencies of drug-resistant cancer cells. By identifying context-specific vulnerabilities, we aim to inform the rational design of combinatorial treatments to advancing precision oncology.

Kudos to our Flavio Passante for winning with his team the REMEDi4ALL Hackathon in Barcellona! Researchers from 10 countries tackled real-world challenges in drug repurposing for rare neurodevelopmental disorders, spanning the whole pipeline from early target discovery to market access.

Our very own Raffaele Iannuzzi successfully defended his PhD Thesis last week. Raf has worked on benchmarking CRISPRdata analytical tool and predictive models leveraging bulk & single cell RNA-seq data. We will definitely miss him. We wish him all the best as new adventures await! Congrats Raf! 🎉

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting @maxbillmann.bsky.social at @humantechnopole.bsky.social for an inspiring seminar on genetic interaction maps an networks. Fantastic to learn how CRISPR screens and integrative analyses can illuminate the logic of genetic dependencies. A big thank you Max 👏

Today we bid farewell to our postDoc @aurorasavino.bsky.social, who is moving to an independent position at the University of Torino. Her talent dedication and collaborative spirit have left a lasting mark on our team and projects🎉
Wishing you all the best for this exciting next chapter, Aurora!
🥳🍾
