Over the past decade, the #CompBioMed Centre of Excellence has strongly promoted the use of computational methods in medicine. 52 universities, companies and research institutes such as the LRZ have been working on the digital transformation of medicine and the computer-aided development of new drugs.
We spoke to Peter Coveney, Professor of Physical Chemistry and Computer Science and Director of CompBioMed, about their work: https://www.lrz.de/presse/ereignisse/2024-09-12-CompBioMed-Results/
We’re excited to introduce our newest lab member, Tim Daugird, who joins the Purvis Lab as a postdoctoral researcher. With a background in microscopy and computational methods, Tim’s research is focused on understanding how cancer cells evade treatments and develop resistance. Tim is a crucial contributor to our team's mission to advance knowledge of cellular organization and function. We are thrilled to have you on board, Tim!🔬

Check out the Q&A below to see what’s happening in the lab! 🔍 How are things currently going in the lab? “Things are going well! With the summer winding down, campus is now bustling again with students, and classes and seminars are in full swing. It’s been wonderful to welcome back our undergraduate students from their summer adventures.” 🔬 What exciting projects is Purvis Lab working on right now? “We’re thrilled about some new collaborations. We recently teamed up with Cyrus Vaziri’s lab to study the cell cycle’s response to oncogenic KRAS signaling. We’re also working with Vicki Bautch’s lab to study epithelial cells under flow, using some pretty cool chambers for our experiments and imaging.” 🚀 Are there any open positions at Purvis Lab? “Yes! We’re looking to hire a computer science student with expertise in building software/hardware interfaces. We have a data visualization project in mind and are eager to find a motivated student to join our team.” 📅 Any upcoming events we should know about? “We’ll be attending the Department of Genetics annual retreat in Myrtle Beach next month.” Stay tuned for more updates and exciting news this upcoming semester! #purvislab #labupdate #genetics #uncresearch #computationalmedicine #research #unc".
Don't miss: Next week LRZ director Prof. Kranzlmueller will moderate a talk by Prof. Coveney from University College London with the title "Human Digital Twins: The Virtual Future of Medicine".
Prof. Coveney is currently Visiting Fellow at the LMU Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) and coordinator of the CompBioMed Centre of Excellence.

#HelloWorld, time to do my #introduction 👋
I’m a #computerScientist working as research fellow in #computationalMedicine and doing a lot of #bioinformatics and #geneticEpidemiology.
I develop and apply statistical and computational methods to identify #multiomics modifications influencing complex human phenotypes. I’ve also worked on the problem of #knowledgeDiscovery in biological data, and on the reverse engineering of #geneRegulatoryNetworks.
