> Duration: 1 year   from Jan 2009  (renewable)
>
> Title: Study of  predictive algorithms  for  target genes of
> microRNA in  cancer
>
> Description:
> The work  will concern the application of machine learning
> techniques to the  characterization of  new biomarkers for certain
> types of cancer. These biomarkers are represented by miRNA, which is a 
> class
> of short  non-coding RNA controlling the expression of hundreds of mRNA
> targets.  The research goal will be the development of a new  in-silico
> prediction approach for miRNA target genes.
> The results will be biologically validated and further exploited in
> collaboration with  the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and
> MolecularMedicine at Temple  University (Philadelphia PA, USA)
