Dr. Yana Bromberg gave an invited talk at Systems Biology seminar on April 13 in Boston University.
Talk title: “Tell me what you do and I’ll tell you who you are: functional basis of microorganism and microbiome annotation”
Bromberglab is happy to announce successful thesis defense of the lab’s first PhD student, Chengsheng Zhu, on the topic “Functional analysis of microbial genomes and metagenomes”. The committee included Max Häggblom, Jeff Boyd and Vikas Nanda, with Yana Bromberg as chair.
An article “Computational predictors fail to identify amino acid substitution effects at rheostat positions” by Miller et al. came out in Nature Scientific Reports.
The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2017 (PSB) workshop on “Computational approaches to understanding of molecular function” is now taking place.

Following an extensive hiring and subsequent selection process, we proudly welcome the most recent member of the BrombergLab, M.Sc. Luigi Jr. He will certainly prove to be a contributing member of our growing lab.
Chengsheng Zhu will present his current work about functional annotation of metagenomes directly from short reads at the departmental seminar of Biochemistry and Microbiology.
