The BCL6 transcriptional program features repression of multiple oncogenes in primary B-cells and is deregulated in DLBCL March 23, 2009

This is the title of our latest paper in Blood, which is also my first one at Weill Cornell and my first one as (joint) corresponding author.

Seminars in Computational and Systems Biomedicine at the ICB January 25, 2009

I am co-organizing the new Seminars in Computational and Systems Medicine. David Botstein was our inaugural speaker and both talking to him and hearing his seminar about the coordination of growth rate, cell cycle, stress response and metabolic activity in yeast  has been a fantastic experience (his seminar was much more thought-provoking than it sounds).

We are very pleased and honored to have the following speakers coming next :

February 6 – Isidore Rigoutsos
March 6 – Jason Mezey
April 3 – Olga Troyanskaya
May 15 – Dana Pe’er
June 26 – Alexandre Morozov

The seminars will be held in LC-504 (1300 York Avenue, 5th floor). All seminars will be on Fridays at 3pm. You can email me at ole2001@med.cornell.edu for more information.

Postdoctoral positions in computational genomics at Weill Cornell Medical College August 11, 2008

Here’s the ad. A computational biologist will already join my group in the fall (jointly hired with another group at Weill Cornell that produces massive amounts of genomic data).

Olivier Elemento’s computational biology group at the Weill Medical College of
Cornell University in Manhattan, New York, has several openings for postdoctoral scientists.
The group’s research emphasis is on human regulatory genomics and
proteomics. We develop innovative computational tools and approaches to
generate testable hypotheses and discover fundamental principles in
transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation of gene
expression.
Our research is done in close collaboration with experimentalists at Weill and
elsewhere and our ultimate goal is to develop translational research towards
novel understanding and therapy for diseases such as cancer and
neurodegenerative disorders.

For more details on the group’s research, please consult :

Strong analytical and programming expertise is required. Preference will be given
to individuals with a proven track record in computational genomics. Individuals
with strong computational skills and experimental background are also
encouraged to apply.
To apply, send a resume in addition to names and contact addresses of two
persons who can provide recommendation letters to ole2001@med.cornell.edu

And if you join my group, this is the kind of projects you could be working on.
