EMBO fellowship at KU Leuven

Really glad to start my EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant in the Lab of Microbial Systems Biology at KU Leuven and the Rega Institute.

Co-occurrence networks have been widely used for inferring microbial associations or/and interactions from metagenomic data. However, spurious associations and tool-dependence confine the network inference. To address this challenge, we are about to develop microbetag, an annotator tool to enhance co-occurrence network analysis for metagenomics data from microbial communities.

To follow our work, you may follow the microbetag GitHub repo.

Many thanks to Prof. Karoline Faust for this opportunity and the incredible feedback!

Let’s see what we can do in 3-months! :wink:
