We’re used to thinking of codes as long strings of seemingly indecipherable characters – languages known to computer programmers. However, there exists another, more significant code found within us and around us: DNA, our planet’s biological code.

A Convergent, Multidisciplinary Approach Towards Developing Microphysiological Systems: Tissues-on-Chips for Pharmacological Safety and Efficacy Testing
Advances in basic and preclinical science continue to fuel the drug discovery pipeline, however only a small fraction of compounds meet criteria for approval by the FDA.
SBML (the Systems Biology Markup Language) and related resources for computational systems biology
Computational modeling allows biologists to create formal models of cellular phenomena that can be simulated, analyzed and compared to experimental data. Biologists today have at their disposal a wide range of software tools for their modeling efforts. The wealth of resources is a boon to researchers, but it also presents interoperability problems.
TGIF Seminar: September 30, 2016
Held usually at 3:30pm on Fridays, TGIF discussions are informal talks on current scientific topics and events. The gathering is sponsored by the PGC, NIMBB (National Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology) at UP Diliman, and the IB (Institute of Biology) at UP Diliman.
Chronobiology and Genomics
Held usually at 3:30pm on Fridays, TGIF discussions are informal talks on current scientific topics and events.
Comparative genome analysis of fungal species: Focus on CAZYmes and secondary metabolite gene clusters
Held usually at 3:30pm on Fridays, TGIF discussions are informal talks on current scientific topics and events.
Trends in Marine Genomics
Held in an intimate setting that is conducive to free-wheeling and informal discussions, participants will discuss trends in local and international genomics research in the marine sciences and, more importantly, speculate or make predictions on future breakthroughs in the field.
Garuda Platform – Re-imagining connectivity in medicine
With the explosion of data in different dimensions of drug discovery, biomedicine and healthcare, a key challenge is the ability to connect the disparate data sources, discover the right analytics tools for a specific analysis and navigate through inter-operable analytics to provide executable insights.
Precision Medicine for the Ophthalmologist: Next-generation genetic tools in approaching eye disease
The identification of disease-causing genes provides information about the pathogenesis of heritable eye diseases at the most basic level. Finding the causative gene of a disease helps the patient move beyond the unknown into the world of knowing what they have, what the future might hold, recurrence risk assessment, identification of at risk family members, contact with appropriate support groups, knowledge of what else to look for, and appropriate surveillance screening, and most importantly, the new possibility of gene based treatment.
