Mike grew up in the Seattle area before beginning undergraduate study in 1999 at the University of Washington, where he later graduated with BSc's in biochemistry and economics. During this time, he was also introduced to computational genomics as the initial draft Human Genome was being finished, spending several years doing part-time research in gene finding and protein structure prediction. He continued studying biochemistry as a graduate student at UCLA but elected to return to genomics when he moved to the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridge, UK) in 2005. While at WTSI, Mike completed his PhD with Prof Leena Peltonen (WTSI) and Prof Gert-Jan van Ommen (Leiden University) and was heavily involved in the first wave of genome-wide association studies, especially the statistical methods thereof. He also led large-scale efforts for the integrative analysis of molecular systems, identifying a gene co-expression network underlying metabolic traits. In 2010, Mike came to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne on an NHMRC postdoctoral fellowship to continue pursuing interests in genomics and systems biology. In 2012, he joined the faculty at the University of Melbourne as a joint appointment between the Department of Pathology and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.

Outside of research, Mike plays soccer, brews/drinks beer, hangs out in cafes and goes to (indie) movies.

Interested Postdocs and PhD Students

The group is always looking for talented postdocs and PhD/honours students. If, in reading about the group and browsing our publications, you are interested please do get in touch.

The group is primarily a 'dry' laboratory (i.e. computational, no reagents or chemicals). We draw on many fields, which in practice means each member brings a unique mixture of skills and all are encouraged to work together. We have flexible working hours and are quite goal-oriented; when/where research is done is less important than, say, developing a new method to solve a problem or uncovering a disease gene. Mike is committed to training independent multi-disciplinary researchers who want to use genomics/systems biology/bioinformatics/biostatistics to alleviate disease.

NOTE: The project list below is only an incomplete snapshot. We also encourage young researchers to develop ideas and projects of their own (how else will one become a scientist!), so we are happy to consider any research plans.

Research Interests

“Think of biology as a system for managing information.”
-- Paul Nurse, PRS

In the last decade, technological advances have driven the study of biology towards the statistical and computational sciences. We are now able to differentiate and quantify biomolecules at levels previously unimaginable, allowing us to study their interactions and relationships to health and disease in an unbiased, systems-level manner.

A corollary of this transformation is that sophisticated quantitative models can now be used to tease out underlying biological insights and pathogeneses of molecular systems. In our view, an "organism" can be thought of as a system whose components are derived from its genome(s) and which interact with each other and the environment in a spatial and temporal manner. We think of these components (e.g. RNAs, proteins, mobilized DNA) as operating as part of networks with the other elements (e.g. metabolites, sunlight, micro-organisms). We therefore apply and develop concepts in graph theory, bioinformatics, epidemiology and biostatistics to understand how networks interact and what role they play in human diseases and traits.

Figure 1: Increasing complexity of systems profiling

Our research spans a broad range of diseases and organisms but it is primarily focused on cardiovascular/metabolic and autoimmune disease in humans (we also work in bacteria and mouse models). We are highly collaborative and have strong links with researchers around Melbourne, Australia, UK and Europe as well as the USA.

Research Projects

Molecular networks for cardiovascular and metabolic disease
Hundreds of genomic loci associated with cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CMD) and corresponding risk factors have been discovered and widely replicated, and, while these loci offer tantalizing clues into the pathogenesis of CMD, the downstream functional effects of causal variants and candidate genes need to be investigated empirically. As part of a worldwide network of collaborators, we aim to develop and apply novel approaches to characterize the genetic basis of gene and metabolic networks, to detect genetic and network interactions with CMD, to infer causality for those interactions, and to design powerful replication and meta-analysis strategies.

Building predictive genetic models
One of the goals of medical genetics is to accurately quantify the risk of disease given a genetic profile. With advances in genome-wide genotyping and whole genome sequencing of large-scale disease and control cohorts, there have been recent efforts to assess the performance of genetic prediction. We have previously explored the utility of lasso-penalized regression models for this purpose, with promising findings for autoimmune diseases like celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. For those diseases and traits with sufficient quantities of genetic variance, we aim to build models of genetic variation (SNPs, CNVs, micro-insertions/deletions, etc) which predict disease, trait or outcome at a level relevant for clinical screening and to refine these models so that particular genetic sub-groups at high risk can be identified.

Gene flow in microbial networks and the human microbiome
Together with Dr Kathryn Holt (UoM Microbiology & Immunology), we are investigating how genetic elements (including drug resistance genes, virulence factors, etc) move within and between bacterial species. This includes the development of novel approaches and computational tools to perform microbial genome surveillance with high-throughput DNA sequencing and to model networks of genetic elements across species. A second collaboration with Dr Holt, which also includes researchers from TICHR and UQ, is investigating the interactions between bacterial community structure (the 'microbiome'), viruses, and host genetics in the pathogenesis of childhood asthma.

Understanding immune regulation through gene networks
Many immune cell phenotypes (differentiation, isotype switching, etc) are regulated by gene networks and their dysfunction can have major implications for autoimmune disease. Various so-called master regulatory transcription factors have been identified but how they operate and what their direct/indirect interacting partners are remains largely unknown for many cell types. We are collaborating with researchers at WEHI to perform and analyse high-throughput RNA sequencing and other whole genome profiles (ChIPseq, etc) to address the question of how the immune system is regulated at the genomic level.

Genetics of rheumatic heart disease in Indigenous Australians
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a disease of long-term cardiac valvular damage resulting from host infection with Group A Streptococcus and host autoimmune response. It is almost eradicated from prosperous populations but maintains a prevalence of ~2% in some impoverished populations, including Indigenous Australian communities. The pathogenesis of RHD is not well understood, however previous studies have suggested that there may be substantial genetic susceptibility. We are collaborating with the Menzies School of Health Research, TICHR and others to perform a genomic screen and fine-mapping for loci associated with RHD.

Supercomputers for complex analysis of genetic data
Current statistical approaches have only scratched the surface of what is possible with the large-scale genomic data now available for many disease studies. The use of supercomputers can open new avenues of investigation to researchers, however there remains a gap between those with the genetic/statistical expertise and the computational expertise needed to fully realize the potential of supercomputing. We are collaborating with researchers at UoM (MEGA), NICTA, and IBM to develop analytical and computational approaches for large-scale genomic and ancillary data which leverage massively-parallel, distributed memory supercomputers and to apply these methods to provide new insights into the genetic and environmental causes, aetiology and biology of breast cancer, colorectal cancer and other diseases.

Postdoc Opportunity at CICESE, Ensenada, Mexico

Closing date: May 18, 2012

The Waves Group of CICESE, as part of the Physical Oceanography Department is seeking candidates for a three-year postdoc position. As part of a recent CONACYT-funded project, the postdoc will work with the Principal Investigator (F. J. Ocampo-Torres) and colleagues in the Waves Group at CICESE (P. Osuna and others), along with several outside collaborators (from UABC in Ensenada, U.Marseilles in France, and Met Institutt in Norway).

Some of the effects of the sea surface in the marine-boundary layer has already been documented. Moreover, detailed aspects related to the presence of swell in opposing direction to the wind generated waves is still a subject of further research.

2. Grenoble, France

PhD, Discrete Element Modelling of Bedload Sediment Transport, Grenoble, France

Transport of bedload, the larger material that is transported in stream channels, has major consequences for public safety, for the management of water resources, and for environmental sustainability. Most particularly, in mountains, steep slopes drive intense transport of a wide range of grain sizes. As discussed recently (Frey and Church 2009)*, an important reason for our limited ability to predict sediment flux is that we have no general understanding of grain-grain interactions in stream channels,

especially due to a very wide range of grain size leading to grain size sorting or segregation (Fig.A). Movement of beads on a mobile bed in a turbulent supercritical flow on steep slopes has been studied at Cemagref in a two-dimensional channel. A high speed camera and image analysis allow us to measure variables at the particle scale such as positions, instantaneous velocities, trajectories, states of movements.

Two datasets are available, one relative to a uniform size of particle, the other pertaining to a segregating binary mixture (Fig.B).

This PhD subject is about discrete element modelling of bedload. In this type of modelling, each individual particle (sand grain, rock, …) is taken into account and intergranular interactions are modelled with simple laws (e.g. Coulomb friction). Gravity and contact forces permit to solve the dynamical behaviour of the system. The main issue will be to couple an existing discrete element model (yade-dem.org) with the fluid,

PhD Position in Text Mining for Sentiment and Reputation Modeling at Erasmus University Rotterdam

noreply@blogger.com (waveice) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:59:00 +0000

In the context of the COMMIT project Information Retrieval for Information Services (COMMIT/Infiniti http://www.project-infiniti.nl/), we are looking for a PhD student to investigate the Mining of Economic Entities. As in the Web 2.0 age people easily share their sentiment regarding companies and products, reputation modeling has become increasingly important for commercial and non-commercial organisations. Due to the huge amount of opinions available through the Web, a manual approach for social media analysis for sentiment mining seems unfeasible, while there seems to be a huge potential for content-driven automated approaches. Through the mining of economic entities and the aggregated sentiment based on textual data, the aim is to support decisions on, e.g., product developments, marketing campaigns, etc. The envisaged prototype for a decision support tool will act as an indicator of public sentiment and trends. In addition, the variation in the dynamics of opinion formin!
g for diverging domains such as economic news, political sentiment, and sentiment towards historical events will be studied.
The PhD track is embedded in the work of the EUR team working on the Infiniti project and the student will be able to collaborate on related topics with PhD students and researchers from other organizations participating in COMMIT.

REQUIREMENTS

As a PhD student your tasks concern the following activities:
- perform scientific research;
- develop research prototypes able to experiment with the proposed methodology;
- present results in scientific conferences;
- publish in renowned scientific journals;
- participate in the graduate program of two research schools ERIM and SIKS;
- take part in activities of (i) the research group and (ii) the Erasmus Studio.

We are looking for excellent candidates that meet the following requirements:
- a MSc degree in computer science, computational linguistics, econometrics, or a closely related field;
- excellent programming skills (including experience with Java);
- excellent exam results; a GPA higher than 8.5 is advised;
- excellent communication skills, and good proficiency in both spoken and written English (e.g. demonstrated by a TOEFEL score of at least 100 on the Internet-based test, 600 on the paper-based test, or IELTS with a minimum score of 7.5; test results should not be older than two years);
- excellent analytical skills; a GMAT or GRE with a minimum score of 85% (certificates should not be older than five years; for candidates with equivalent certificates/skills an additional test can be arranged);
- you have a creative mind, are diligent, and show perseverance;
- you are able to start in the spring of 2012.
The ideal candidate is interested in conducting applied research in a multidisciplinary setting and ideally has expertise in Natural Language Processing, Web 2.0/3.0, Information Retrieval, Machine Learning, and Marketing. Candidates without Natural Language Processing knowledge should be interested in and willing to acquire this expertise during the project, as it is a crucial aspect of the research programme.
You will be part of a project team, which consists of experts in natural language processing, computational economics, and Web information systems. The work will lead to a PhD under the supervision of prof.dr. Franciska de Jong, prof.dr.ir. Rommert Dekker, and dr. Flavius Frasincar.

CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

Maximum employment: 38 hours per week (1 FTE)
Duration of contract: 4 years
Salary scale: €2042 to €2612 per month gross

Tuition fees

The tuition fee for the Master in Economics and Finance 2012-2014 is EUR 3,785 per year. This figure may be adjusted by a limited amount, following regulations of the Spanish education authorities.

Exemption from tuition and scholarships

CEMFI may grant students exemptions of the tuition fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000 per year. Exemptions and scholarships are granted according to academic merit. Some of this support is funded by a set of sponsoring institutions. Applications for funding will not affect the student’s chances of being admitted in any way.

Applicants of the Master are encouraged to apply directly for external scholarships for graduate programs. These scholarships usually have very early application deadlines. Therefore, we highly recommend students to apply well in advance.

Some institutions awarding scholarships to Spanish and EU students are: Banco de España, cajAstur, Fundación la Caixa, Fundación Rafael del Pino, Generalitat de Catalunya, Gobierno Vasco, and the Spanish Ministry of Labour (Reina Sofía Scholarships).

After enrolling in the Master these students can also apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education.

Non-EU students (including Latin American students) should consult the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affaires website for the MAEC-AECID scholarships.

Scholarships for Latin American students

In preceding years, special scholarships have been available for Latin American students of the Master. In case these scholarships are endowed, an announcement will appear in our website. Applications for these grants would then be carried out directly at the website of the granting institution, not at CEMFI’s.

Subsidized loans

The Spanish Ministry of Education subsidizes loans in a set of banking institutions, for which students of any nationality, with residence in Spain, who enrol in graduate studies may apply.
