BIOs

Søren Brunak

Søren Brunak, Ph.D., is professor of Disease Systems Biology at the University of Copenhagen, Medical Informatics officer at Rigshospitalet, Capital Region of Denmark, as well as professor of Bioinformatics at the Technical University of Denmark. Prof. Brunak was the founding Director of the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at DTU, which was formed in 1993 as a multi-disciplinary research group of molecular biologists, biochemists, medical doctors, physicists, and computer scientists. Søren Brunak has been highly active within biological data integration, where machine learning techniques often have been used to integrate predicted or experimentally established functional genome, metagenome and proteome annotation. His current research does combine molecular level systems biology and healthcare sector data such as electronic patient records and biobank questionnaires. The aim is to group and stratify patients not only from their genotype, but also phenotypically based on the clinical descriptions in the medical records. One of the key elements driving the approaches is the “disease trajectory” concept, where phenotypes and their complications are analysed in a life-long perspective rather than as individual diagnoses.

Jose MG Izarzugaza
Jose MG Izarzugaza is associate professor and group leader of the Intergrative Systems Biology group at the Technical University of Denmark. His research spans different aspects of the genomics and systems biology of complex human disease. Jose MG Izarzugaza is an active member in several translational precision medicine initiatives, as elucidated from his involvement in the assembly of the Danish reference genome and in the International Cancer Genome Consortium. Jose MG Izarzugaza is author of 26 peer-reviewed publications, reviewer in numerous top-tier journals and conferences, and academic editor of BMC Bioinformatics, PloS One and PeerJ.
