We have moved to Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona)!
This is the first week of our lab at the IRB. We are excited and eager to start working here and interacting with the new colleagues. The [...]
Thanks University Pompeu Fabra (UPF). Thanks Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB).
Today is the last day of my group at UPF and the PRBB after more than 10 years. We are moving to the Barcelona Institute for [...]
Our paper demonstrating that proteins bound to DNA impair Nucleotide Excision Repair published in Nature
I am very happy to announce that our manuscript describing the increased mutation rate in Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) in melanomas and lung tumors has been published in today's issue of Nature. In the manuscript we demonstrate that this accumulation is due to the impairment of Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) activity by proteins bound to DNA.
ERC-consolidator granted to our lab to find noncoding cancer drivers
We are happy to announce that our lab has been awarded an European Research Council Consolidator Grant. ERC-consolidator grants are designed “To fund top researchers of any nationality and [...]
Practical Workshop on “Cancer Omics Data Integration” in Heidelberg
Since last year I am participating in the COST Action BM1204 titled “An integrated European platform for pancreas cancer research: from basic science to clinical and public [...]
Our research explained in a short video
The University Pompeu Fabra has produced a video in which we explain in brief our research. We recorded three versions of the video, one in Catalan, one [...]
My slides on: Identification of cancer drivers across tumor types
Yesterday I gave a talk at the PRBB Computational Genomics Seminars Series. In that talk I summarized our work of this year in the lab. Basically, we [...]
The Cancer Genome Atlas Pan-Cancer Project
Yesterday the paper describing TCGA Pan-Cancer Project was published in Nature Genetics. We’ve had the opportunity to participate in this exciting project and here I would like [...]
How to identify functional genetic variants in cancer genomes?
The possibility to rapidly and inexpensively sequence tumor genomes is opening important new avenues for cancer research. One of the main objectives when sequencing tumor genomes is [...]
Interactive heat-maps to explore biological data
Heat-maps are graphical representations of data where values in a matrix are represented following a color scale. This way of representing data has proven to be a [...]
