Do you like scientific discussion? And how about Pizza?
If we gained your attention with ‘scientific’, or at least with ‘Pizza’, then you are already looking forward to the right event!
Pizza Club is a regularly held Journal Club event co-organized by The Representatives of the Doctoral Programme in Systems and Molecular Biomedicine, part of the Doctoral School in Science and Engineering (DSSE); and the Uni.lu student association ISCB RSG Luxembourg.
In short, Students (PhD candidates) present a scientific paper (+- 20 mins) they find interesting or that inspired the development of their individual PhD project (doesn’t need to be authored by the speaker).
There will be an open discussion round after each scientific presentation (2-3 students per event), followed by informal and fun chatting with some pizzas around!
Presenter 1: Apurva BADKAS (hyperlink: https://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fstm/dlsm/people/apurva_badkas)
Article: “DrDimont: explainable drug response prediction from differential analysis of multi-omics network” (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btac477)
Brief description: The paper describes prediction of differential drug response using multi-omics networks. The authors highlight the interpretable outcomes based on the method. They show that for the purpose of this application based on the current pipeline, a combination of proteomic and phosphite layers are the most predictive amongst the different omics layers applied.
Presenter 2: Mohamed SOUDY (hyperlink: https://wwwen.uni.lu/lcsb/people/mohamed_soudy)
Article: “SCMcluster: a high-precision cell clustering algorithm integrating marker gene set with single-cell RNA sequencing data” (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/bfgp/elad004)
Brief description: A novel method for single-cell RNA-Seq data clustering using feature selection and Ensemble clustering.
Moreover, each presentation of peer-reviewed papers will be rewarded by 0.5 ECTS!
If we attracted your interest by now, feel free to join the monthly Pizza Club, either as part of Audience or as a registered Speaker. For the latter, please kindly use this form to sign up as an upcoming Speaker, by choosing your category of paper and desired month to present. Looking forward to seeing you at the next Pizza Club!
