BSC researchers bring the power of Artificial Intelligence to the small datasets of rare diseases

The researchers from the Barcelona Supercomuting Center (BSC) Iker Núñez-Carpintero and Davide Cirillo, from the Computational Biology group led by Alfonso Valencia, along with Marianyela Petrizzelli and Andrei Zinovyev from the Institut Curie, have developed a novel method for the characterization of rare diseases and applied it to the study of a childhood brain tumor called medulloblastoma. The article “The multilayer community structure of medulloblastoma” has been published today in Cell iScience and represents a pivotal research achievement for the European project iPC: individualizedPaediatricCure.
