Roger Casals, UVIC-UCC PhD student in the Bioinformatics program and member of the CBBL, was selected to present the poster “Trajectory Inference Methods Comparison in Cancer Immunotherapy” at the first edition of the Award of Computing in Oncology, organized by the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO).
The contest was held on February 21, 2024 at the Casa Convalescència in Barcelona and was a meeting to recognize the best master’s thesis in computational science at national level.
Roger works in the analysis of “single-cell” transcriptomics data, which allows analyzing gene expression at scale individual cells, revealing crucial details about biology.
This work has been supervised by Lara Nonell i Mazelon (VHIO), Jordi Villà i Freixa (UVic-UCC / IRIS-CC) and Adrián López García de Lomana (UVic-UCC, HI), and has had the support of the “Programa Investigo AGAUR” (2023 INV-200003TG1) at as a technologist at the IRIS-CC.
