Title: Network-guided integration of multi-omics data: towards a comprehensive view of cancer

Abstract: Due to the advent of high-throughput technologies, high-dimensional "omics" data are produced at an increasing pace. In cancer biology, national and international consortia have profiled thousands of tumors at multiple molecular levels ("multi-omics") allowing to gather a comprehensive molecular picture of this disease. Moreover, multi-omics profiling approaches are currently being transposed at single-cell resolution, further increasing the information accessible from cancer samples. The current main challenge is to design appropriate methods to integrate this wealth of information and translate it into actionable biological knowledge. In this talk I will give some examples on the use of networks to mine and integrate multi-omics data with the ultimate aim of revealing new insights into cancer biology.

Bio: Laura Cantini is a CNRS permanent researcher at the Institut de Biologie de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure (IBENS). She develops machine learning methods for the integration of bulk and single-cell data. In addition, she closely collaborates with biologists to address specific biological questions by applying the developed methods. Mathematician by training, Laura received her PhD in cancer systems biology from the University of Turin (Italy). She then pursued a postdoc in the cancer system biology group at Institut Curie (Paris). In 2018, awarded the L'Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science and EMBO fellowship, she joined CSAIL at MIT (USA), before being selected as CNRS permanent researcher. In 2020, She is recipient of an ANR JCJC and Sanofi iTech Awards funding which gave her the possibility to start her independent research line.  

Best regards,

Chakresh, for the organizing team
