DBC News is a monthly publication that seeks to inform first and foremost faculty members, researchers and students. It also reaches out to a wider community - Department of Computational Biology partners, visiting faculty and friends.
|
Alongside the Department's website it is a complementary means of keeping abreast of the Department's rich and diversified scientific activities - visiting faculty, exceptional conferences, publications, awards, appointments, calls for papers and research, ...

After a M.Sc. in Neuroscience, I did my PhD in the Neuroimaging Research Lab (LREN) at the University Hospital of Lausanne. I worked on brain ageing and the quantification of brain microstructural properties associated with cardiovascular risk factors using magnetic resonance imaging. I joined Sven Bergmann's team where I will combine retinal imaging with brain imaging to study the genetic basis of age-related vascular changes. Besides my scientific career, I'm also a professional trombone player and composer. Music and science are for me very close and complementary activities that both nourish the curious and creative mind.

I completed my MSci in Biological Sciences in 2021 at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. In my master’s thesis I examined the non-allopatric diversification of dorid nudibranchs (shell-less sea slugs) based on their diet and ability to synthesize or assimilate their defence chemicals. After my graduation, I started an internship at the University of Porto’s marine research centre, where I worked on Mediterranean corals’ population genomics and the on-going search for heat-resistance loci. I am now joining Dessimoz’s lab for my PhD, which will focus on analysing the conservation of gene positions, the propensity of neighbouring genes to be involved in the same biological process and their biological and evolutionary significance.

MCEB - Château d'Oex - June 26-30, 2022
This year's "Mathematical and Computational Evolutionary Biology” edition—which is co-organised by DBC professors Anna-Sapfo Malaspinas, Giovanni Ciriello, and Christophe Dessimoz—will cover several scientific themes, focusing mainly on cancer evolution, phylodynamics, phylogenomics and mathematical phylogenetics and in particular, how new models and algorithms deal with the huge amount of genetic data available nowadays in order to improve our understanding of the mechanisms governing evolution at multiple scales. The number of place is limited, so book early to avoid disappointment (but talk to your PI first!). And if you register, please choose the “invoice” option for the payment.
