Our Special Issue on BioTech Journal is now open for submissions: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/biotech/special_issues/Bioinformatics_Present_Future_BiotechnologyDeadline on June 20th, 2022!

We wrote our second blog on the Virological.org web blog to show the important impact of our VariantHunter tool http://gmql.eu/variant_hunter. Check it out here!

I will be Chair of the Special Track on “Big Data and Analytics for Healthcare” for the conference IEEE Big Data Service 2022, to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area (http://big-dataservice.net/), to be held 15-18 August 2022.

I will be the organizer of the WALS Workshop (http://www.bioinformatics.deib.polimi.it/wals2022/) co-located with the ICWE 2022 conference (https://icwe2022.webengineering.org/), to be held 5-8 July 2022.

I presented with Pietro Pinoli our tutorial on “Conceptual Models and Databases for Searching the Genome” at 25th International Conference on Extending Database Technology. See the recorded video on YouTube!

I presented my research on “Data-driven SARS-CoV-2 understanding and hunting (searching for the new Omicron)” at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano. See the recording here.

We wrote the first blog post on Omicron on the Virological.org web blog, an important forum for virologists, now focused on COVID-19 and the virus SARS-CoV-2 responsible for the disease. Check it out here!

I presented my research on “Modelling, integrating, and searching processed genomic datasets” at the Front Line Genomics Webinar series on “Integrating Diverse Datasets – Webinar 2: Methods of data integration, visualization, and interpretation”. See here the relevant information.

I have been nominated by the board of professors of my Department at Politecnico di Milano as a candidate for this important award (https://www.weizmann.ac.il/feinberg/about/dimitris-n-chorafas-prize/about-foundation-and-prize), then confirmed by the board of the Foundation and awarded on October 22nd, 2021 at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering. The prize is assigned for outstanding work in selected […]

Pietro Pinoli and I gave a successful tutorial on “Conceptual Models for Searching the Genome” at the 40th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2021), see the recorded video on YouTube!
