Eugenio Del Prete

I got a master degree in Information and Communication Technology Engineering at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", defending a thesis with subject "Statistical approach on oncogenomics: microRNA promoters analysis in relation to transcription factor NF-Y". During and after the thesis period, I had a collaboration with the Experimental Council Research of Regina Elena Institute (Rome, Italy), dealing with the topics: univariate statistical analysis on miRNA promoters, genomic data retrieval-evaluation-processing, transcription start sites prediction and evaluation, consensus classes validation and simulation, position specific scoring matrix and sequence logo construction. For about three years, I had a research fellowship at the Institute of Food Sciences - National Research Council (Avellino, Italy), within the "INTEROMICS" Flagship Project, dealing with the topics: uni-multivariate statistical analysis on proteins, prediction models for structural features classification, mass spectrometry data analysis, proteomic data retrieval-evaluation-processing, sequence alignment, molecular docking, phylogenetic trees creation and evaluation. I got a PhD at the University of Basilicata (Potenza, Italy) in Applied Biology, working on the project "Development of novel computational approaches for ‘Omics’ data integration and analysis, with application to food diseases", in collaboration with the ISA-CNR of Avellino. I spent my abroad period as visitor at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, involved in the study of the relationships between inflammation and metabolism, with focus on coeliac disease and its comorbidities, and in strengthening my skills on modelling and programming. For three years, I had a research fellowship at the Institute for Applied Mathematics 'Mauro Picone' - National Research Council (Naples, Italy), involved in the "ADViSE" project as bioinformatician and biostatistician. Nowadays, I'm a member of the Bioinformatics Core at TIGEM (Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine, Pozzuoli, Naples, Italy) as expert of biostatistics and data analysis.
