I am back at the NCBI/NIH to visit the BioNLP research group led by Zhiyong Lu.

Two weeks ago, I attended the kick-off meeting of phase 2 of the Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG) program.

I recently read ‘Python Tricks: The Book.

CoCoScore, our Python library for computing context-aware co-occurrence scores for text mining applications, has been accepted at BLAH4 (Biomedical Linked Annotation Hackathon 4).

Today I migrated my website from a Jekyll+GitHub Pages setup to a blogdown+Hugo+Netlify setup and am very happy with the result.

In the beginning of November, I attended the Datathon for Diabetes in Copenhagen.

scikit-learn is a popular open source machine learning library for Python.

I spent the past weekend at Hack4DK 2016 - a hackathon in Copenhagen with the aim to hack and analyze publicly available data sets.

I followed the ‘Deep Learning’ course developed by Google, freely available on Udacity over the past couple of weeks.

A short video where I talk about our clustering project of large-scale data sets of RNA molecules was released last week.

The first thing I do before starting to work on a new project is creating a virtual environment using conda.

A large part of my PhD project deals, broadly speaking, with the computational analysis of non-coding RNAs and their biological function.

I attended three inspiring talks on a diverse set of non-coding RNA topics this week and would like to share some of the key messages I took home from these seminars.

This post documents cleaning of my Fitbit daily step and sleep data and also a simple approach to looking for trends in the data.

In January, I bought a Fitbit Charge HR wristband which, besides counting my steps, also monitors my heart rate, tracks my sleep and more.

This post lists the main student-focussed symposiums along with key dates organized by the Student Council of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in 2016.

I heard about the explainr R package in episode 10 of the Not So Standard Deviation podcast and thought I would give it a try.

As this website and blog are slowly taking shape, I would like to explain a few words about its inception.

Thank you for visiting my personal homepage!

Here you can find an overview of some of the academic publications and projects I worked on between 2011 and 2018.
