✨Perfect #MaCSBio day out at Alkenrode with my amazing colleagues! These moments are what make us stronger together as a team.🌞 #TeamBuilding #SystemsBiology #Bioinformatics

✈️💻🧬 Heading home after an inspiring #ISMBECCB2025! Grateful for the amazing talks, great discussions, and fun activities. So nice reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones 🥰
I'm proud of the #NetBio COSI team I get to work with - you're awesome!
@netbio.bsky.social @iscbio.bsky.social

⏳ The countdown is on! #NetBio at #ISMBECCB2025 kicks off in just 5 minutes!

The organizing team is thrilled to welcome you and share the exciting program. See you there!

📢 Next up: @SaniyaKhullar presents NetREm, a powerful new method revealing how transcription factors coordinate gene regulation across cell types.
From immune cells to Alzheimer’s brains, NetREm maps regulatory networks with real-world validation.
#ISMBECCB2025 #NetworkBiology

🧬Excited to welcome Giulia Cesaro to present #CellGOSSIP, a novel strategy to decode cell-specific intracellular signaling from noisy single-cell data using personalized network propagation.
🎯 Reveal hidden pathway dynamics and functional cell states!
#ISMBECCB2025 #NetworkBiology #NetBio

Love the new logo and how it highlights that this community aims to connect network and graph-based tools/resources, algorithms/methods and their biomedical applications 🤩!

#NetworkBiology

🔊 Up next at #NetBio: Sindhura Kommu presents her work on "Prediction of Gene Regulatory Connections with Joint Single-Cell Foundation Models and Graph-Based Learning."

She couldn’t join us onsite in Liverpool, but is connecting live to share her research ✨!
#ISMBECCB2025 #NetworkBiology

🔊 Now presenting in our #NetBio track: Ibrahim Alsaggaf introduces Sup-EGsCL, a contrastive learning method using enhanced Gaussian noise augmentation to better predict gene longevity effects from protein-protein interaction networks.

#ISMBECCB2025 #NetworkBiology

🎙️Next #NetBio talk: Kivilcim Ozturk uncovers how mutations in intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) disrupt protein interactions in cancer, revealing potential cellular vulnerabilities.

#ISMBECCB2025 #NetworkBiology

🎤 Next #NetBio talk:
Erik Sonnhammer presents #FunCoup6, an upgrade to the functional association network database, now with enhanced regulatory links, a redesigned interface, and powerful new tools for comparative interactomics and disease module analysis.

🔊 Next in #NetBio at #ISMBECCB2025
Dewei Hu presents:
SPACE: STRING proteins as complementary embeddings

Cross-species network embeddings meet protein function prediction, leveraging STRING across 1,300+ eukaryotes. A powerful complement to sequence embeddings!

#NetworkBiology

☕️ The #NetBio COSI team will be around during the 4PM coffee break in Room 1B!

Come chat about the COSI, getting involved, or anything else. We’ve got open roles (incl. one Abstract Chair position) for next year. Let’s connect if you are interested! #ISMBECCB2025

🎤 Next talk at #NetBio:
@beatrizurda.bsky.social: Disentangling the genetic and non-genetic origin of disease co-occurrences

#ISMBECCB2025 #NetworkBiology

After lots of #NetBio discussions over coffee, we are now starting the last session for today:
Lucas Gillenwater is presenting his #ISMBECCB2025 proceeding paper "GRACKLE: An interpretable matrix factorization approach for biomedical representation learning".
