Would you like to model and analyze sample-specific regulatory networks? Check out our latest BioRxiv pre-print in which we present 𝐒𝐢𝐒𝐚𝐍𝐀, a command line workflow that makes modeling and analysis of single-sample networks really easy, transparent, and reproducible 🪄: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am very much looking forward to next week's EMBL conference on cancer genomics! Proud that some of the group's recent work will be presented in a selected talk by Tatiana and a poster and flash talk by Ine 🤩 www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Until now, patient-specific regulatory networks have mostly been studied in individual cancer types. In our latest BioRxiv pre-print, we took this to the next level, performing a large-scale, pan-cancer network analysis of patient-specific regulatory landscapes: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

October welcomes 2 new group members in the Kuijjer group! Welcome Samantha Martin and Turan Koç! More info: www.kuijjerlab.org/blog/new-gro...

Grateful for funding from the Jane & Aatos Erkko Foundation for our project NETMET! We will develop AI and network science methods to map gene regulation at the patient and cell level, to understand cancer aggressiveness and improve patient stratification: jaes.fi/en/topics/me...

Back from a wonderful joint group retreat in Fornebu 🌊🇳🇴 We had lots of pork neck, 🌶️ gossip, and fruitful discussions. Hope to do this again soon to keep connections strong 💪 So lucky to be part of this brilliant team of scientists 💫 Read more here: www.kuijjerlab.org/blog/group-r...

At the Meilahti campus bus stop, on my way to the group retreat in Fornebu 😍

I’m surprised to see that some funders still ask for impact factors in grant applications, even though institutions like @helsinki.fi have signed DORA. It puts applicants in an awkward spot

Happy to have started as director of the iCANDOC doctoral education pilot in precision cancer medicine! Looking forward to supporting the development of doctoral training in 🇫🇮🧑‍🎓 More info: ican.fi/icandoc/

Sundog above Helsinki 🌈🌥🇫🇮

GRN inference algorithms often build on prior knowledge of e.g. TF binding. Build up-to-date priors with our new tool SPONGE, now out in Bioinformatics: academic.oup.com/bioinformati...

Back in Oslo 🇳🇴 I realize I've been posting quite many photos lately, as I'm grateful to live in and visit such beautiful places 🙂

What an interesting campus to give a seminar 🇱🇺! Impressive steel plant (here pictured with Mars). Really enjoyed the scientific discussions at the Casual Analysis of Biomedical Data lecture series and after. Now heading back to Oslo 🇳🇴 www.uni.lu/lcsb-en/even...

New workplace, home, and life all in one picture ☀️ Looking forward to being back soon!

If you're a JASPAR user, please give feedback!!

Not a bad view to work on the final touches of a grant ☀️❄️

Just submitted the first version of my first ERC proposal! Moving countries and labs made this extra intense 🥵 Huge thanks to my patient colleagues. Still some refining to do, but I hope these ideas will fuel future projects
