Inas Bosch is a PhD candidate at the FARI Institute and the Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels (IB2). After obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, she went on to complete a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics and Modelling at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. At the end of her Master’s degree, she completed a Master’s thesis focusing on genetic diseases. This work explored the use of knowledge graph embeddings – a representation learning approach – to study rare genetic diseases, particularly digenic diseases, in which two mutated genes are involved. Her PhD research extends this work by exploring the subject more in-depth and by adapting the developed tool to a clinical setting, with the aim of facilitating the diagnosis of affected patients and the development of clinical treatments.
The Biomina Lunch Talks are an initiative of a number of young researchers in the biomina network and is sponsored by the Flemish Government.
We aim to stimulate the interaction between researchers from different disciplines who encounter bioinformatics and computational biology, and consequently we focus on a broad and multidisciplinary public. With this informal medium we would like to provide a platform where knowledge and experience can be presented and exchanged, across partners from both academia and industry.
In this manner we have had the pleasure to welcome speakers from various institutes in and outside Antwerp, such as VIB, UZA, KULeuven, Johnson & Johnson. Even international speakers, from Ethiopia, USA, South-Africa, ... have been presenting their expertise!
These sessions provide a great opportunity for young researchers to acquaint themselves with new ideas and methods in the field of bioinformatics and medical informatics!.
