That's a wrap on the ICGEB practical course on Artificial Intelligence in Data Science and Bioinformatics! This hands-on workshop by the Computational Biology Group at #ICGEBTrieste headed by Dr. Silvano Piazza has strived to equip participants with practical skills for applying AI techniques in the biological field, including data analysis, pattern detection, and experimental design. #AI #DataScience #Bioinformatics #LifeSciences #Innovation #alphafold3 #drugdiscovery #infectiousdiseases #MachineLearning

This week ICGEB was represented by Ms. Marianna Maculan, Chief External Relations, at the SHE in STI Collaborative Expo at the United Nations HQ in New York, showcasing ICGEB programmes for women in science. The event, organised within the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, marks 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, giving visibility to innovative initiatives that advance gender equality in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI). Pictured also with H.E. Mrs. Vanessa Frazier, Ambassador of the Permanent Mission of Malta to the United Nations. #STI #sciencetechnologyinnovation #internationaldaywomenandgirlsinscience #ForAllWomenandGirls #CSW69 Vanessa Frazier UN Women Permanent Mission of Malta to the United Nations in New York

What biosafety strategies are effective for gene drives? As gene drive technologies advance, genetic biocontainment is a critical aspect of their safe development and deployment. But what strategies actually work? Our article categorises and explains the key approaches to genetic biocontainment, helping researchers, regulators, and policymakers navigate the different safeguards available. 🔹 What types of biocontainment strategies exist? 🔹 How do they help manage gene drive risks? 🔹 Why is a structured approach to biocontainment essential? Explore the living literature review and share your insights:  👉 https://lnkd.in/de3ejKz9 #unlockthescience #biosafety #GeneDrive #SyntheticBiology

#NewResearchPublicationAlert: Co-culturing algae and bacteria boosts carotenoid production under nutrient stress Latest research from our #OmicsOfAlgae Group, #icgebnewdelhi & published in the World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, shows that co-culturing the alga Chlorella saccharophila with the bacterium Exiguobacterium sp. can enhance carotenoid production under nutrient-depleted conditions. This co-culture strategy could be a promising approach to activate unexpressed pathways, generate novel metabolites, and enhance yields of valuable carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin.
