The Laboratory of Computational and Quantitative Biology (LCQB), headed by A. Carbone, is an interdisciplinary laboratory working at the interface between biology and quantitative sciences. It is built to promote a balanced interaction of theoretical and experimental approaches in biology and to foster the definition of new experimental questions, data analysis and modeling of biological phenomena. Our projects address questions on biological structures and processes through the gathering of experimental measures, the in silico generation of new biological data that remain inaccessible to experiments today (modeling of biological systems), the development of statistical methods for data analysis, and the conception of original algorithms aimed to predictions. The lab is supported by the CNRS and Sorbonne Université.

What can proteins tell us about how they interact and function together? At LCQB, we develop computational approaches to predict protein interactions, model protein social behaviour and infer the effect of mutations on protein interaction networks. We just posted this video explaining these ideas to the large public.

Predicting species-specific mutation effects is a major challenge in genetics. Using diverged sequences, we learn protein sequence landscapes, which predict tolerated mutations in a species like E. coli and capture interactions between mutations.

Two of our alumni, Vittore Scolari, PhD student at LCQB, and Riccardo Vicedomini, postdoc, have been recognized this year by the CNRS with two permanent researcher positions! In 2021, Edoardo Sarti, postdoc at LCQB, was offered a permanent researcher position at INRIA.

Congratulations to all!

The Île-de-France Region has defined its 9 new major areas of research and innovation for the next 5 years, in which €100M will be invested.

Among them:

► AI4IDF - Intelligence artificielle centrée sur l’humain en Île-de-France, lead by Inria - PIs: Isabelle Ryl
► BIOCONS - Bioconvergence pour la santé, lead by Université de Paris Cité - PIs: Amanda Sylva Brun and Ariel Lindner

The LCQB participates in both programs.
