    Research topics

    My research experience was devoted to the development and optimization of analysis workflows and in mining transcription-based experiments, mainly in the oncology framework. An important aspect of my past and present work was the constant focus on new technologies (e.g. today single-cell and single-molecule sequencing) and their integration in our analysis workflows.

    I started my journey in Bioinformatics in latest 90’s when I developed a tool to simulate, for windows-based PCs, a molecular biology laboratory (Iazzetti, et al., 1998). My tool was used for at least a decade at University of Naples “Federico II” first and then in high schools to train students in the basic concepts of molecular biology laboratory practice.

    In 1998 I established at University of Torino the Genomics and Bioinformatics unit (B&Gu). B&Gu is an interdisciplinary group devoted to the study of multifactorial diseases by mean of high throughput technologies - i.e. microarray, Next Generation Sequencing – and bioinformatics. Since then my interests moved to research topics in which computational approaches could be used to mine biological data (Accardo, et al., 2004; Iazzetti, et al., 1998; Lazzarato, et al., 2004; Olivero, et al., 2003; Ruggiero, et al., 2003). Those years were the period in which expression microarrays started to be an effective tool to investigate genes involved in diseases and general biological processes. I was involved in various studies in which microarray data analysis played an important role (Astolfi, et al., 2005; Calogero, et al., 2004; Cicatiello, et al., 2004; Quaglino, et al., 2004). In collaboration with the group of cancer immunologists leaded by Prof. Forni at University of Torino, I focused the work of my group on the identification of new targets for anti-tumor vaccination protocols (Calogero, et al., 2007; Calogero, et al., 2008; Cavallo, et al., 2005; Cavallo, et al., 2007). Because of my experience in microarray data analysis, my group was involved in a large number of collaborations in Italy and abroad (Berkofsky-Fessler, et al., 2010; Bosotti, et al., 2007; Murphy, et al., 2007; Sassano, et al., 2009; Saviozzi, et al., 2009; Spugnini, et al., 2006; Volante, et al., 2007). It is notable that, using gene expression microarrays, we were able to identify for the first time the presence of coding transcripts in circulating blood vesicles (Bruno, et al., 2009; Deregibus, et al., 2007; Herrera, et al., 2010), today a very hot topic in the field of biomarker discovery.

    More recently, I focus my research on single cell technologies data analysis and mining (Rodriguez-Fraticelli et al. 2018, Alessandrì et al. 2019, Christodoulou et al. 2020) and bioinformatics workflows reproducibility, founding the Reproducible Bioinformatics Project (http://www.reproducible-bioinformatics.org/, Kulkarni et al. 2018)

    Since I started my research career as molecular biologist, I am convinced that genomics/transcriptomics data analysis, at least to some extent, should be placed back in the hands of wet biologists, thus it is more than a decade that I am involved in training of PhD and Post-docs in the transcriptomics field, running courses at University of Naples first, then at University of Turin (Sponsored by Affimetrix first and later by lllumina), at EMBL-Heidelberg, DUKE-NUS in Singapore and Italian Institute of Technology in Genova. Thus, with my group I have developed tools to simplify data analysis for microarray first (Sanges, et al., 2007) and then for Next generation sequencing (Beccuti, et al., 2017; Beccuti, et al., 2018, Alessandrì et al. 2019).
