🧪 We are thrilled to share our latest work, now published in Biology of Sex Differences, by our amazing collaborators: Mafalda Soares, Inês Wemans, Paulo Caldas, Simao Rocha, Ana Rita Grosso.
We show the impacts of cell type-specifc dysregulation on the X chromosome in SLE!

Big congratulations to Cátia Gonçalves for successfully defending her PhD! 🎓
Her work focuses on understanding the venom systems of octopus and cuttlefish, including possible use in biomedicine.

Last week, our team member Mariana Luz presented the project for her thesis.
After doing her master thesis and working with us as a master fellow, Mariana is now starting her PhD with a grant from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, studying imprinting defects in iPSCs.

Our lab had the opportunity to share a little of what #bioinformatics is with the students participating in the Summer University, organized by Núcleo de BCM.
Thank you to Rita L, Mafalda S, Frederico A and João M for their work developing our activities for this event.

Congratulations to Arati Puoommangalathu and Francisco Martinho for successfully defending their Project and officially getting their Bachelor’s Degree in Cell and Molecular Biology! 🎓

Our lab was happy to have the opportunity to show the importance of #bioinformatics and share our #research with the rest of the NOVA FCT community during the #ScienceDaysNOVAFCT last week.

We're so happy to post our new logo, designed by the multitalented Mafalda Soares, who joined us this year as a master fellow after completing her thesis with our group.

We proudly have a new Doctor! 🥳
Many congratulations, Mariana, for the brilliant viva yesterday! 👏🎓🍾 We wish you all the best for the future! ❤️
Thank you, @edueyras.bsky.social, @biocomicslab.bsky.social, @mgama.bsky.social, Leonor Saúde, and Mário Ramirez for the fantastic discussions! 🙏

Big congratulations to Silvia Carvalho for successfully defending her PhD! 🎓
Her thesis focusing on SRRM2 is an exciting contribution to our understanding of gene regulation and early development.
We'd like to thank @apombo1.bsky.social for her generous collaboration during this joint supervision.

🧪 Our latest work with Caldas and Rocha, published
@stemcellreports.bsky.social shows that XCI erosion is common and heterogeneous, reactivating X-linked genes without affecting global methylation or imprinting. #xchromosome

We are a multidisciplinary research unit advancing knowledge in biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, and health sciences. By combining curiosity-driven research with innovative applied science, we tackle global challenges in health, bioeconomy, and sustainability.

Our lab continues with its commitment to share #bioinformatics knowledge with others, this time at the invite of Jornadas Tecnológicas LBCM.
Thank you to our team members Frederico Água and Mafalda Soares for doing a wonderful job presenting this workshop.

Thank you!

Hello, Erik. Could you please add our account to the feed? We're a computational biology group, this is our lab page: comics.dcv.fct.unl.pt This is the PI's ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0001-69... We hope this is enough information, please tell us if not. Have a good day
