We are the Computational Neurobiology lab

We address fundamental questions in chromatin organization, epigenetics and brain biology. We develop machine learning approaches for large-scale data integration and reconstruct cis-regulatory networks to understand how a cell “chooses” its fate. In particular, we focus on the role of chromatin organization in neuronal cell fate specification and neurodegenerative disease, aiming to bring results of fundamental research to the clinic.

hackathon

VIB-UAntwerp - Babraham Institute Hackathon

Our lab is co-hosting the first joint VIB-UAntwerp-Babraham Institute hackathon that will take place simultaneously in Antwerp and in Cambridge September 11th-13th. Join us! These three super fun days will be filled with challenges in genomics, bioinformatics, and data analysis, topped with a special prize challenge! The experience promises to be an absolute blast for all participants, regardless of their skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned expert or a newcomer eager to explore, you're warmly invited to bring your own projects or join a team. Beware, places are limited, first come first served! Register before 15/08
