🎙️ ✨ Last week, Giacomo and Giulia were invited to give a seminar at the Department of Mathematical Physical and Computer Science of University of Parma, where they presented the current bioinformatics research of our group.
The talks showcased our efforts to advance computational modelling of cell-cell communication, ranging from our 📔 work providing a comprehensive overview of the field (Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2025) to the presentation of our tools:
– 🧬scSeqComm (Bioinformatics, 2022) and scSeqCommDiff (NAR Genomics & Bioinformatics, 2025) for inferring cellular interactions
– 💻 quickSparseM (IEEE Proceedings of PDP 2025) for time- and memory-efficient computation on large, sparse omics matrices,
– 📊 CClens (NAR Genomics & Bioinformatics, 2025) for intuitive visualization and interpretation of multidimensional cell-cell communication results
– 📈 MAST (Bioinformatics Advances, 2022) for modeling tumor–immune dynamics across time and space using an hybrid multi-agent model
It was a great opportunity to share our recent progress, exchange ideas, and engage in stimulating discussions.
We warmly thank Professor Vincenzo Bonnici for the invitation and for organizing this seminar series at the Università degli studi di Parma.
