Emmanuelle Bignon (from France) will join to the group on the 1st October 2017 for her PostDoc focusing on the study of redox post-translational modification in cancer.
Ágota Toth (from Semmelweis University, Hungary) will join to the group in September 2017 for an Erasmus Traineeship focusing on methods to study the impact of cancer mutations on intrinsically disordered proteins triggering or inhibiting apoptosis.
Enrico Riccardi (NTNU, Norway) will join to the group in spring 2017 as Visiting Post Doctoral Researcher. Enrico was granted a EBSA Felllowship on the application of methods for advanced transition interface sampling to study conformational changes of proteins.
Vincenzo Nicolaci from the University of Milano-Bicocca will start his Master project founded by the Erasmus plus initiative in February 2017. Vincenzo's project will be carried out in collaboration with the group of Prof. Paola Fusi at the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences (Milano-Bicocca, Italy). We will focus on the characterization of cancer-related mutations in the DNA-binding domain of p53.
Matteo Tiberti will join back to the group on the 15th of January 2018 for his PostDoc to develop methods to predict cancer driver and passenger mutations in a melanoma-related protein, as well as to continue his research with protein structure networks.
Emiliano Maiani will join to the group on the 1st of November 2017 for his PostDoc focusing on a project at the interface between experimental cellular biology and bioinformatics on familial melanoma mutations.
Monica Oldani will join to the group in March/April 2018 as a Visiting PhD Student from Milano-Bicocca University (Phd School in Biology and Biotechnology) for a 6-month project on analyses of transcriptomic data to identify the effects induced upon cadmium exposure and their link to cancerogenesis.
Simone Scrima and Cristiano Galletti will join the group in 2018 for their Erasmus Traineeship in bioinformatics from the University of Bologna.
Michela Centonze will join the group in March 2018 for her Erasmus Traineeship in computational cancer biology from the University of Trento.
Zeljka Sanader will join the group as PostDoc in Spring 2018 for modelling studies to design new variants of a class of enzymes of relevance for green chemistry and as biotherapeutics. The project is in collaboration with Chalmers University.
Burcu Aykac Fas will join to the group as PostDoc in March 2018 to work on intrinsically disordered domains and the effects of cancer mutations.
Matteo Tiberti will start as PostDoc at CBL in January 2018 to develop new software for bioinformatics
NEW MEMBERS TO WELCOME
Welcome to the Computational Biology Laboratory (CBL) at the Danish Cancer Society Research Center (DCRC, Copenhagen, DK)
NEWS
Elena will be Section Editor for Bioinformatics for PeerJ starting from February 2018 (https://peerj.com/blog/post/115284880081/peerj-section-editors/)
Here you can listen at our podcast for the Computerome Danish Supercomputing Infrastructure

Elena is now also Associate Professor in a split position with the University of Copenhagen, Center for Protein Research in Brunak's group (http://www.cpr.ku.dk/staff/385200/tdsb/).
Time for celebration: CBL has been founded (as PI team) by a DFF-FNU grant for 2017-2020 in collaboration with CDM Unit at DCRC, a LEO foundation grant in collaboration with the GI Unit at DCRC and the NMR group at the University of Copenhagen for 2017-2018, as well a Alfred Benzon Investigator fellowship 2017-2019. Moreover, we received two large research network grants as co-applicants in collaboration with CSS Unit at DCRC (LEO foundation) and with Chalmers University in Sweden (NovoNordisk foundation).
Congratulations to Andé for his super-cool interview, check it out here:

Marta Lucchetta has been granted a KBVU pre-graduate fellowship in 2017.
CBL has been granted a PRACE DECI-14 Grant for 4 571 429 core-hours in collaboration with CSS Unit at DCRC and The NMR group at the University of Copenhagen.
Since from 2016, CBL is also a part of the CARD Center of Excellence (Center for Autophagy, Recycling and Disease) founded by the Danish National Research Fundation. Read more here:

CBL is a part of the NGP-NET CostAction
We are supported by two RANNIS grants (The Icelandic Center for Research, 2014-2016 and 2016-2019, in collaboration with Bjarni Asgeirsson and Magnus Kristjánsson, University of Iceland), FORMAS (Sweden, 2016-2018 in collaboration with Lisbeth Olsson, Chalmers University, Sweden), KBVU Funds (in collaboration with GIuseppe Filomeni, DCRC, DK), AIRC (in collaboration with Francesco Cecconi, Tor-Vergata, Italy and DCRC, DK), Innovation Fund Denmark, EBSA, HPC ISCRA-Cineca Grants on Galileo and Marconi, DECI13th-PRACE Grant (CHAPEDO) and NGP-NET CostAction.
We are also supported by Computerome, the Danish National Supercomputer for Life Science.
We joined together with other DCRC Groups (at CSS and CDM Units) as members of the Danish Bio-Imaging Network (WG1- Image Analysis tools and data management) and we are members of the Danish RNA Society.
