we mix informatics/biology/functional-genomics to identify new therapeutic targets/markers, for cancer and other human diseases. we ❤️ CRISPR, statistics and ML
The Iorio Lab is at the 37th AICC International Meeting in Florence this week. With our Francesco Iorio presenting as an invited speaker, Nevenka Radic with a flash talk and Vanessa Spagnolo with a poster. Excited to share our latest results and connect with colleagues in the field.
