Robin E.C. Lee, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational & Systems Biology at the University of Pittsburgh, has been named one of the 126 Sloan Research Fellows for 2020. “To receive a Sloan Research...
Dr. Anne-Ruxandra Carvunis was recently featured in Nature and Science magazine articles which highlighted her work on de novo gene birth. While one talks about how evolution builds new genes from scratch, the other...
Project Title: From Non-Coding to Coding: Uncovering the Hidden Coding Potential of Non-Coding Sequences and Its Role in De Novo Gene Evolution Grant ID: DP2-GM137422 Anne-Ruxandra Carvunis, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational...
Takis Benos, Professor and Vice Chair at the Department of Computational and Systems Biology, and his collaborators were awarded a U01 research grant to study changes occurring in healthy lungs as they age. The...
The latest study by Lillian Chong and Ali Saglam, a postdoc in the Faeder Lab, demonstrated the power of the weighted ensemble (WE) strategy in enabling explicit-solvent MD simulation of a protein–protein binding process.(Click...
Physicians will be able to predict which of their patients with severe asthma are likely to benefit from treatment with systemic corticosteroids — and which might only suffer their side effects — with help...
Hosein Mohimani, assistant professor in the Computational Biology Department, and Bernhard Haeupler, assistant professor in Carnegie Mellon University’s Computer Science Department, are among 126 recipients of 2019 Sloan Research Fellowships, which honor early career scholars whose achievements put...
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon and Pitt Team Up In influenza virus infected cells, eight viral genomic RNPs are assembled into progeny virions, which predominantly contain one copy of each. Regarding the virus, an important...
Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University say neural networks and supervised machine learning techniques can efficiently characterize cells that have been studied using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). This finding could help researchers identify new...
The Joint CMU-University of Pittsburgh Ph.D. program in Computational Biology (CPCB) sees its biggest incoming class yet. A total of 21 students have joined the program, beginning with their orientation last week. The group...
