Come to the first Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Session on November 22, 2013
Due to the high number of registrations received, the event has been moved to a new location at Fundació RBA - Av. Diagonal, 189 (Barcelona). Registration will be open until November 20th.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together all the Bioinformatics community established in Catalonia. For this reason, the session has been structured in short talks presented by colleagues coming from different research groups, institutions and locations. A poster session will be held next to auditorium.
We encourage you all to participate and we hope to see you in November the 22nd!

La revista Nature Genetics publica l'Atles Genòmic del Càncer
Fruit del treball col·laboratiu d'un consorci internacional del qual han format part investigadors del grup de Genòmica Biomèdica del GRIB, David Tamborero, Abel González-Pérez i la cap del grup Núria López-Bigas, s´ha publicat a la revista Nature Genetics, l'Atles Genòmic del Càncer.
Els investigadors del GRIB han col·laborat en aquest projecte mitjançant l'anàlisi de les mutacions presents en els teixits tumorals (principalment de pulmó, mama, bufeta o cervell) per tal d'identificar quines, entre totes les observades, són realment alteracions clau per al desenvolupament i progressió de cada tumor.

The project 'Elucidating the Network of Breast Cancer' awarded with a grant of Sandra Ibarra Foundation
The project of the Regulatory Genomics group of GRIB (IMIM-UPF) led by E. Eyras will study the alterations of the protein interactions in breast cancer cells, by recapitulating the conditions of tumor cells in a normal cell model. The alterations in expression thus produced would be examined using advanced genomics and proteomics technology.
Sandra Ibarra Foundation of Solidarity against Cancer organizes this annual event for their support to research in breast cancer. For the Regulatory Genomics group, it was a proud moment, a motivation and a wonderful opportunity to witness and be a part of an event where members of the scientific and non-scientific communities joined hands and pledged to work for the betterment of the society.

Descifrando el genoma de los tumores para avanzar hacia la medicina personalizada del cáncer
Núria López -Bigas y su equipo del grupo de Genómica Biomédica del GRIB (IMIM- UPF) han recopilado y estudiado las mutaciones descritas en 4.623 tumores originados en trece órganos diferentes para identificar los genes implicados en el desarrollo de la enfermedad y avanzar hacia la medicina personalizada del cáncer. Los resultados se han publicado en la revista Nature Methods.
Los autores han declarado que "algunos de los genes clave que hemos identificado codifican proteínas que son posibles dianas para nuevos tratamientos contra el cáncer " y "además, esta información podría ayudar a afinar el diagnóstico de cada paciente para utilizar las estrategias terapéuticas existentes más adecuadas, e identificar marcadores para la detección precoz de la enfermedad".

Thesis defence of Xavier Jalencas "Chemoisosterism and its impact on drug polypharmacology"
On September 17th, Xavier Jalencas, member of the Systems Pharmacology Group of GRIB (IMIM-UPF) will defend his thesis at 12.00 at the PRBB Auditorium. You are all invited to this event.

The integrity of the human genome depends on a protein complex that controls the behavior of mobile DNA
Researchers of the Regulatory Genomics group of GRIB (IMIM/ UPF) led by E. Eyras have participated in this study published at Nature Structural and Molecular Biology Journal, which describes the mechanism by which most human cells can avoid being "bombarded" by mobile DNA fragments. This repetitive DNA has the ability to make a copies, which get inserted into other locations in the genome.
