La dottoressa Manuela Petti terrà presso questo dipartimento un seminario sulle attività di ricerca da lei svolte e in corso di svolgimento, come previsto dagli adempimenti richiesti per la chiamata del vincitore della procedura selettiva di chiamata per la copertura di n. 1 posto di ricercatore a tempo determinato di tipo A per il settore concorsuale 09/G2 - Settore Scientifico-Disciplinare ING-INF/06 presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica Automatica e Gestionale Antonio Ruberti dell’Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza” (Bando 2/2018, i cui atti sono stati approvati con Decreto n. 97/2019, Prot. n. 884/2019, Class. VII/1 del 27/03/2019).

 

Precision medicine is an emerging framework devoted to diseases treatment and prevention taking into account

individual variability. Network science is considered one of the most promising approaches for the

development of precision medicine: in fact, network medicine is a rapidly evolving field of medical research

aimed at identifying, preventing and treating diseases. This talk will show the methodological challenges

related to the study of biological complex systems and consequently to the development of precision

medicine. Some studies will be illustrated, showing the potentiality of network medicine approach applied

to the field of neuro-rehabilitation, to the prediction of new disease genes and to the characterization of

gene co-expression networks.

 

Manuela Petti received her M.Sc. Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Sapienza University

of Rome in 2011 and her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Bologna Alma Mater

Studiorum in 2016. She was a visiting student with the University of Indiana at Bloomington (USA) in 2015.

She was a PostDoc at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering of Sapienza

University of Rome from 2016 to 2018. Since 2011 she is a junior scientist at IRCCS Fondazione Santa

Lucia, Rome (Neuroelectrical Imaging and BCI Lab). Her research interests are in the area of biological

complex system study. In particular, she works at the estimation of brain connectivity,

biological networks analysis (e.g. brain networks, human interactome) and network medicine.
