Hot off the press – new study from the group: 🧬🤖 A DNA language model for predicting mutation risk trained on massive genomic data sets A mutation seen again and again across cancer genomes looks like a causal change. But sometimes the DNA site is simply very easy to mutate and so generates a hotspot 🔥. We built MutFormer AI model to separate these two possibilities: operating at single-nucleotide resolution, it separates “driver” from “passenger” hotspots. (awesome work by Ivan Galvan 🔝, Marcell Veiner @MarcellVeiner et al. 👏)

My group is looking to recruit 2 postdocs👩‍💻👨‍🏫 on the "A-SOuRCCE" project: 1⃣ AI for Knowledge Graphs in Regulatory Genomics 2⃣ Agentic AI for Scientific Discovery in Genomics Ideal positions for recent bioinformatics/genomics/compbiol PhDs looking to pivot towards AI 🖥️🧠 & to do impactful science. Also great for computer science people looking to get into genomics. Apply via links below! 👇 Deadline in ~2 weeks (10.2.)

Fantastic to be in such great company!🤩 👏Congrats to 19 colleagues from my institutions (🇩🇰BRIC @UCPH_health and 🇪🇸@IRBBarcelona) in this year's Elsevier/Stanford top 2% most cited researchers list

🧵Ahmed’s @GenomeDataLab paper on evolution of chemotherapy resistance is out in @NatureComms! We developed DiffInvex - a method tracking how #cancer driver genes change under therapy, applied to ~10k genomes. Key insight: resistance often emerges through existing pathways. 1/5

Great news – we received funding from the Independent Research Fund Denmark @DFF_raad! 🧬We will study #cancer driver mutations in tumor suppressor genes. In particular, we will focus on so-called "dominant negative" mutations, by combining #genomics, #AI & CRISPR gene editing

Postdoc and PhD position in AI for cancer genomics at BRIC/UCPH. Only 5 days left to apply!

🔥PhD student & postdoc opportunity @GenomeDataLab! Are you keen on: - driving cutting-edge science @ interface of #AI and cancer #genomics? - working in a dynamic & supportive environment of @UCPH_BRIC? - joining the U of Copenhagen, top-3 ranked uni in EU? Apply below👇

No less than 6⃣6⃣ PhD fellowships will be available to assorted groups at 🌆U of Copenhagen & to 🇩🇰DTU via the "INTERACT" call 🎓Applications open 20/12. Spread the word! Apply + join us👇 Maybe there is a Nobel prize in physics awaiting you as well 😁 linkedin.com/posts/biotech-r…
