The research activities of the Data and Computational Biology Laboratory (DCB) focus of genomic and molecular data analysis, especially in conjunction with “Cancer Research”, and on modeling and simulation of biological phenomena tied to therapy control. In these contexts, the DCB Lab activities concentrated on the reconstruction of tumor progression models, on the more general study of cancer evolution, on optimal therapy design (e.g., for chronic myeloid leukemia – CML) by means of Control Theory methods and on the study of different metabolic regimes and “metabolic rewiring” in various organisms and in cancer.
The DCB Lab developed tools and algorithms for the data analysis of patient’s populations and of individual patients’ Bulk-sequencing and Single-cells data (cfr., TRONCO). These tools were also integrated in the metabolic regimes’ applications and analysis methods always developed by the DCB Lab (cfr., MAREA).
