Vito Flavio Licciulli

Flavio LicciulliVito Flavio Licciulli obtained a degree in Computer Science at University of Bari in 1992.

Since 1994 he is involved in Bioinformatics with the Bari BioInformatics Group and he is a researcher at the C.N.R.- Istitute for Biomedical Technologies (ITB), Bari(Italy).

His main research activity are: design, development, implementation and maintenance of biological databases; development of bioinformatics software and WEB interfaces.

He has published about 30 scientific publications on international journal in these fields. He is responsible for the database and operating systems management at ITB-CNR-Bari institute.

Andreas Gisel

Andreas Gisel has a degree in Biology from the Swiss Federel Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland and got his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for the same Institute.

He is PI within the FP 6 project EMBRACE, member of the executive board of EMBnet and editorial board of the EMBnet.news.

His main interests are sequence analysis of NGS data, applied gene ontology and GPU oriented bioinformatics applications.

His contats here at Bari’s offices of the Istituto di Tecnologie Biomediche are:

His most recent work is on the COST Action BM1006, which activities are summoned up on the dedicated website: http://www.nextgenerationsequencing.it

Angelica Tulipano

Angelica Tulipano Laureata in Fisica all’Università di Bari nel 2003, collabora dal 2004 con l’Istituto di Tecnologie Biomediche.

Ha conseguito il PhD in fisica in collaborazione con l’INFN nel 2008 con una tesi dal titolo ‘Una metodologia basata su algoritmi di clustering per l’analisi globale dei dati di microarray’.

L’attività di ricerca svolta nel campo bionformatico finora ha riguardato l’utilizzo della Gene Ontology per la ricerca di analogia funzionale tra prodotti genici che ha portato alla pubblicazione del seguente lavoro:

Gene analogue finder: a GRID solution for finding functionally analogous gene products
A. Tulipano, G. Donvito, F. Licciulli, G. Maggi and A. Gisel
BMC Bioinformatics 2007, 8:329

Altre attività riguardano l’analisi di dati da microarray con tecniche di clustering, che recentemente ha portato alla pubblicazione di

GRID distribution supports clustering validation of large mixed microarray data
A. Tulipano, C. Marangi, L. Angelini, G. Donvito, G. Cuscela, G. Maggi and A. Gisel
2011 – EMBnet.journal, vol 17, No 1

e l’analisi di dati di sequenziamento massivo con tecniche Next Generation Sequencing, in particolare la creazione di workflow per l’analisi di sequenze di small RNA.

I’m graduated in Physics in 2003 at the University of Bari.

I have terminated my PhD in 2008 in Physics with a theses on ‘A metodology based on clustering algorithms for a global analysis on microarray data’.

Since 2004 I’m working in collaboration with the ITB on different bionformatics topics: the use of Gene Ontology to evaluate functional analogies between gene products, the analysis of microarray data and lately the creation of a workflow for the analysis of massive Next Generation Sequencing data.

Elda Perlino

Elda Perlino is actually Senior Scientist at the CNR Biomedical Technologies Institute (ITB) via Amendola 122/D, Bari, Italy.

Starting from 1983 during a 3 years stage at the EMBL (Heidelberg-Germany) in the Molecular Biology Laboratory directed by Prof. R. Cortese, she has been involved in studies concerning the molecular basis of human proliferative diseases by investigating the regulation of expression of growth and adhesion factors in normal and neoplastic cells.

Actually her research activity is focalized on the study concerning the molecular characterization of cell malignant transformation in an in vivo model system of human tissues with particular attention to the regulation of expression of tumour suppressor-like factors in hormonally regulated human carcinoma, such as thyroid, prostate, mammary and endometrial carcinoma.

Up to now she has published 46 scientific publications (ISI) and 10 books with international editorial board.
