| + | In mammals, the organ of Corti in the inner ear contains cells that can convert mechanical vibrations induced by sound into a neural signal. Those so-called hair cells are distributed along the cochlea together with another type of cells (supporting cells) in a neatly arranged checkerboard pattern. How this pattern emerges during development from an homogeneous layer of epithelial cells is the object | ||
| + | of our latest publication. Together with the group of David Sprinzak at the University of Tel Aviv, we showed that mechanical forces acting | ||
| + | on the tissue, together with delta-notch signaling, drive this patterning process. Our study, which combines experiments and modeling | ||

As a member of the PhenoMeNal (Phenome and Metabolome aNalysis) consortium we contributed to set up a system of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) that brings workflow-oriented, interoperable metabolomics data analysis platforms into the cloud. PhenoMeNal seamlessly integrates a wide array of existing open-source tools that are tested and packaged as Docker containers through the project's continuous integration process and deployed based on a kubernetes orchestration framework. It also provides a number of standardised, automated, and published analysis workflows. The paper is published in <a href =" https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giy149"> GigaScience </a>. | As a member of the PhenoMeNal (Phenome and Metabolome aNalysis) consortium we contributed to set up a system of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) that brings workflow-oriented, interoperable metabolomics data analysis platforms into the cloud.
