Next on the Young BITS Symposium, Gaia Faggin will talk about Cell Marker Accordion 2.0, an entropy-driven framework for interpretable cell type annotation, clustering, and spatial deconvolution.
#YoungInfoLife #Bioinformatics #YoungResearch Big congratulations to the #BITS2026 Poster Prize winner! 🏆
🥇 Francesco Maria Antonio Micocci
Well done👏 At #BITS2026, we had the pleasure of recognising Filippo Utro for his outstanding BITS lecture: "From Classical to Quantum: New Computational Paradigms for Life Sciences".
Thank you for your significant scientific contribution to this year’s conference! 👏
@filippoutro.bsky.social BITS Lecture at #BITS2026 with Filippo Utro from IBM T.J. Watson Research Center!
Quantum and hybrid quantum-classical methods for life sciences, from immunotherapy to omics data, plus a discussion on where quantum computing stands today.
#Bioinformatics #QuantumComputing #SystemsBiology Reproducibility in bioinformatics is broken because software environments silently change over time.
Luca Alessandri presents REBEL, an open-source tool that detects dependencies, archives locally and rebuilds identical environments on any machine.
#Bioinformatics #BITS2026 #ReproducibleResearch Not all survival models are created equal, and comparing them is not straightforward.
Giovanni Birolo at #BITS2026 presents SurvCraft, a framework to fairly compare approaches one piece at a time. Simpler methods can still compete.
#Bioinformatics #SurvivalAnalysis Happy to welcome Prof. Christine Orengo from @ucl.ac.uk for the opening keynote of the last day of #BITS2026!
Prof. Orengo will explore protein evolution and design through the lens of CATH and TED, a new resource for the structural biology community
#Bioinformatics #StructuralBiology Eva König will share a scalable framework to integrate genetic data across diverse cohorts and ancestries, applied to calcium and phosphate as use cases, demonstrating the power of standardized large-scale analyses 🧬
#Bioinformatics #Genomics #BITS2026 Alessandra Luciani joins this #BITS2026 session to show how metatranscriptomics can leverage non-human reads to map active brain microbial communities, revealing new insights into the gut-brain axis and Alzheimer’s disease 🧠
#Bioinformatics #Metatranscriptomics Next up on the #BITS2026 stage, Giorgia Bucciarelli will dive into the complex landscape of RNA modifications presenting the RNAEventProfiler platform-independent tool, ensuring reliable statistical testing for differential epitranscriptomics 🧬
#Bioinformatics #CancerResearch Matteo Marchionni will present scPleiades, a new multi-omics analytical pipeline designed to overcome high noise levels, dropout events, and signal contamination in single-cell and spatial omics for more accurate cell phenotyping. 🧬📊
#Bioinformatics #scRNAseq #BITS2026 How do we turn massive spatial omics data into clinically relevant biomarkers?
Prof. Silvio Bicciato from University of Padova (@unipd.bsky.social) takes the stage at #BITS2026 to outline the computational challenges and opportunities in imaging-based spatial omics.
#Bioinformatics #CancerResearch Lorenzo Amir Nemati Fard at #BITS2026 on how coordinated cell-cell interaction circuits are rewired in cancer and their link to patient survival and immunotherapy response.
#Bioinformatics #CancerResearch Michele Marziliano presents a computational workflow to characterise tumor microenvironment remodeling in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer using CODEX spatial multiplex proteomics, capturing the spatial organisation of the TME in a treated mouse model.
#Bioinformatics #BITS2026 Emanuela Scafuri at #BITS2026 will show how integrating more omics layers does not always help.
Her work identifies which ones actually improve patient stratification in Alzheimer's disease, using clinical indices as a reference.
#Bioinformatics #MultiOmics #AlzheimersDisease Matteo Andriolo at #BITS2026 presents ArchetypalC, a high-performance C++ implementation of Archetypal Analysis for large-scale single-cell data.
#Bioinformatics #ScRNAseq Next up on stage, Mehdi Zoubiri presents APICURON, an open-source platform that recognises scientific contributions beyond publications, from data curation to software development, and makes them visible through ORCID integration.
#BITS2026 #OpenScience #Bioinformatics First, a quick coffee break to recharge, then it's time for the BITS Members Assembly: time to reflect, discuss, and plan together the future of the Italian bioinformatics community. #BITS2026
