6. Deciphering HIV genetic variability and evolution by massive parallel pyrosequencing and bioinformatics
Abstract : HIV-1 is a virus with a very variable genome and therefore has the ability to adapt to new environments which include escape from immune pressure and suboptimal antiretroviral treatment. Next-generation sequencing (NGS), especially ultra-deep pyrosequencing (UDPS), has enabled in-depth sequencing studies with a previously unattainable resolution. READ MORE

7. Multi-omics analysis of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia
Abstract : The prognosis for patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unsatisfactory and survival is often measured in months. Although the majority of patients achieve complete remission after aggressive treatment, most of them relapse within a few years. READ MORE

8. Machine learning and data-parallel processing for viral metagenomics
Abstract : More than 2 million cancer cases around the world each year are caused by viruses. In addition, there are epidemiological indications that other cancer-associated viruses may also exist. However, the identification of highly divergent and yet unknown viruses in human biospecimens is one of the biggest challenges in bio- informatics. READ MORE

9. Spatially resolved and single cell transcriptomics
Abstract : In recent years, massive parallel sequencing has revolutionized the field of biology and has provided us with a vast number of new discoveries in fields such as neurology, developmental biology and cancer research. A significant area is deciphering gene expression patterns, as well as other aspects of transcriptome information, such as the impact of splice variants and mutations on biological functions and disease development.

10. Genomic instability and genetic heterogeneity in neuroblastoma tumours
Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB), a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system and the most common malignant disease of early childhood, is responsible for 9% of paediatric cancer related deaths. Aggressive NB still constitutes a major clinical problem with survival rates of about 35%. READ MORE
