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.

Congratulations Raffaele!
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! 🎉
