Research topics

Marco Beccuti is scientific coordinator of InfoLife National Laboratory of CINI, technical coordinator of ELIXIR Node of the Università degli Studi di Torino, scientific coordinator of the laboratory "HPC for biomed and AI" in ICxT, Chair of the Scientific Committee of the "HPC4AI" laboratory" at the Università degli Studi di Torino, and scientific co-coordinator of "Quantitative Biology" (q-Bio) group. He is also member of the "Performance Evaluation and System Validation" group (QMIPS), of "Bioinformatics ITalian Society" (BITS), and of the "Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni" (CNIT).

His research is currently mainly focused on:

• designing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) workflows for the analysis
  of deep sequencing data (i.e. genomic, transcriptomic and single cell data);
• developing modeling and analysis techniques for studying complex biological systems.
