Today, during the XXXIX Bioengineering School, will be held the ceremony of the PhD award dedicated to Gianluigi Zanetti, director of the CRS4 Data-intensive Computing sector, who passed away prematurely on September 7, 2019.
This award, established by CRS4 in agreement with the National Bioengineering Group, will be assigned to Noemi Di Nanni for her experimental thesis on precision medicine, titled "A network diffusion method for the integration of multi-omics data with applications in precision medicine". The work presents a new methodology for the integration of different types of "-omics" data, to quantify the influence of a gene in a biological process of interest, and describes the results of the algorithm application for breast cancer and autism.
