The Laboratory of Computational and Quantitative Biology (LCQB), headed by A. Carbone, is an interdisciplinary laboratory working at the interface between biology and quantitative sciences. It is built to promote a balanced interaction of theoretical and experimental approaches in biology and to foster the definition of new experimental questions, data analysis and modeling of biological phenomena. Our projects address questions on biological structures and processes through the gathering of experimental measures, the in silico generation of new biological data that remain inaccessible to experiments today (modeling of biological systems), the development of statistical methods for data analysis, and the conception of original algorithms aimed to predictions. The lab is supported by the CNRS and Sorbonne Université.

What can proteins tell us about how they interact and function together? At LCQB, we develop computational approaches to predict protein interactions, model protein social behaviour and infer the effect of mutations on protein interaction networks. We just posted this video explaining these ideas to the large public.

New success for the iGEM team of Sorbonne Université: they received the Best Plant Synthetic Award! After one year of hard work in parallel of their classes and internships, our students (mostly from BMC and BIM master) received the Gold Medal for their project NAWI during the final conference (Grand Jamboree) held at the Paris Convention Center on October 26-28.

 

They were also nominated for Best Education and Best Presentation prizes out of 350 teams. Units implicated from IBPS: LCQB and LBD. Co-PIs: Frédérique Peronnet, Guillaume Garnier, Marco Da Costa, Pierre Crozet.

In parallel with her final year of PhD at the LCQB, Jeanne Le Peillet has just won two prizes for her business project Beink Dream: the regional Pépite IDF Prize and the National Pépite France Prize. While developing her project, she keeps on producting commissioned scientific illustrations for publications, conferences, patents and funding applications here.

Congratulations Jeanne!

Predicting species-specific mutation effects is a major challenge in genetics. Using diverged sequences, we learn protein sequence landscapes, which predict tolerated mutations in a species like E. coli and capture interactions between mutations.

See our article in Nature Communications.

This year, two of our alumni, Vittore Scolari and Riccardo Vicedomini have been recognized this year by the CNRS with two permanent researcher positions. Yasaman Karami was offered a permanent researcher position at INRIA, Beatriz Seoane a Chair of Junior Professor at the CNRS/U Paris-Saclay and Diego Zea, a Maitre de Conference position at U Paris-Saclay. Vittore was member of the Cosentino-Lagomarsino team, Riccardo, Yasaman, Beatriz and Diego of the Analytical Genomics team. In 2021, Edoardo Sarti, postdoc at LCQB in the Statistical Genomics and Biological Physics and in the Analytical Genomics teams, was offered a permanent researcher position at INRIA.

 

Congratulations to all!
