Last week, Frederico Água was given an academic distinction and we couldn't be prouder!👏
He completed his master thesis with us and will soon start his PhD with a grant from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, focusing on the impact of cell origin and aberrant transcription in pancreatic cancer.

🧪 We are thrilled to share our latest work, now published in Biology of Sex Differences, by our amazing collaborators: Mafalda Soares, Inês Wemans, Paulo Caldas, Simao Rocha, Ana Rita Grosso.
We show the impacts of cell type-specifc dysregulation on the X chromosome in SLE!

Our lab was happy to have the opportunity to show the importance of #bioinformatics and share our #research with the rest of the NOVA FCT community during the #ScienceDaysNOVAFCT last week.

We're so happy to post our new logo, designed by the multitalented Mafalda Soares, who joined us this year as a master fellow after completing her thesis with our group.

Big congratulations to Silvia Carvalho for successfully defending her PhD! 🎓
Her thesis focusing on SRRM2 is an exciting contribution to our understanding of gene regulation and early development.
We'd like to thank @apombo1.bsky.social for her generous collaboration during this joint supervision.

Our lab continues with its commitment to share #bioinformatics knowledge with others, this time at the invite of Jornadas Tecnológicas LBCM.
Thank you to our team members Frederico Água and Mafalda Soares for doing a wonderful job presenting this workshop.

🧪 Our latest work with Caldas and Rocha, published
@stemcellreports.bsky.social shows that XCI erosion is common and heterogeneous, reactivating X-linked genes without affecting global methylation or imprinting. #xchromosome
