Mattia Furlan
Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia
I was trained in physics, I got a PhD in Complex Systems for Life Sciences, and I actively work in the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. My main scientific interest is the characterisation of transcriptional and post-transcriptional RNA dynamics [1], which I exploit to investigate multiple biological systems; I have recently focused on cancer. I follow an approach based on RNA-seq data, mathematical modelling, and statistical inference. In this regard, I am one of the developers and maintainers of the R Bioconductor package INSPEcT which allows the investigation of RNA dynamics from sequencing data [2]. I am also fascinated by the epitranscriptome as a major regulatory layer of RNA dynamics [3], which I have begun to explore through the novel exciting Oxford Nanopore Technologies platform for direct RNA sequencing [4]. In general, I am extremely intrigued by both the applicative aspects of computational biology, and the technical aspects of bioinformatics and inference.
