Sharing Our Research in High Performance Computing applied to Bioinformatics at PDP 2025 & Best Paper Award!

Last week, Giacomo attended the 33rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing (March 10-12, 2025 – Turin, Italy).

It was a great opportunity to attend insightful talks and engage in discussions about the present and future of high-performance computing!

We are also proud to share that our work, “quickSparseM: a library for memory- and time-efficient computation on large, sparse matrices with application to omics data” by Giacomo Baruzzo, Giulia Cesaro, and Barbara Di Camillo, received the Best Paper Award in the “High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation” session. The article will soon be available in the conference proceedings on the IEEE website (https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/1000543).

We extend our sincere thanks to the conference and session organizers for hosting this event and giving us the opportunity to present our research!

University meets Industry: AI @ DEI

On November 20 and 21, 2024, the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padova, in collaboration with Fondazione UniSMART, organized two events on Artificial Intelligence: “AI@DEI for Industry” and “AI@DEI for Biomeds and Health”.

The events focused on innovative topics such as Generative AI, Data Analytics, AI in biomedical research and healthcare, Bioinformatics, and Health Informatics, showcasing practical applications and future perspectives for collaboration between University and Industry.

During the event, our researcher Giacomo Baruzzo presented the AI activities in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics carried out by the computer engineering group, including some research projects conducted by our research group.

Great moments at BITS 2024 conference in Trento

Our group has attended the 20th Annual Meeting of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS 2024) in Trento. It was an incredibly successful event!
We are proud to have contributed to the event with 2 oral presentations from Gaia and Piero:

  • “Limitations of the co-occurrence-based approach in the inference of microbiota interaction networks” Piero Mariotto, Matteo Baldan, Barbara Di Camillo, Giacomo Baruzzo
  • “Interactive exploration of cell-cell communication results from single-cell RNA sequencing data through a webapp” Gaia Tussardi, Giulia Cesaro, Barbara Di Camillo, Giacomo Baruzzo

Also, Gaia co-chaired the “YOUNG BITS, RSG-Italy & CINI Young-InfoLife” Symposium, a supporting and stimulating forum for undergraduate, master, PhD students and early stage researchers to present their research and to connect with the wider Italian Bioinformatics Community.
