Bioinformatics Awards 2021: Swiss Bioinformatics Graduate Paper Award
Excellence in bioinformatics is acknowledged through the Bioinformatics Awards, launched by SIB in 2008. The 2021 laureates were announced during the [BC]2 Basel Computational Biology Conference held in September: Stephanie L. Hyland, Martin Faltys, Matthias Hüser, Xinrui Lyu and Thomas Gumbsch jointly received the Swiss Bioinformatics Graduate Paper Award. Discover the laureates and their work, recorded as part of a special edition of our ‘in silico talks’ series.
About the in silico talks series – The latest in bioinformatics by SIB Scientists
The in silico talks online series aims to inform bioinformaticians, life scientists and clinicians about the latest advances led by SIB Scientists on a wide range of topics in bioinformatics methods, research and resources. Stay abreast of the latest developments, get exclusive insights into recent papers, and discover how these advances might help you in your work or research, by subscribing to the in silico talks mailing list.
circEWS: an early warning system for circulatory failure in the ICU
The Swiss Bioinformatics Graduate Paper Award went to Stephanie L. Hyland (ETH Zurich, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Weill Cornell Medicine, Zurich University Hospital), Martin Faltys (University Hospital Bern, University of Bern), Matthias Hüser (ETH Zurich, Zurich University Hospital), Xinrui Lyu (ETH Zurich, Zurich University Hospital) and Thomas Gumbsch (ETH Zurich, SIB), part of two teams led by Group Leaders Gunnar Rätsch and Karsten Borgwardt at ETH Zurich. Their paper “Early prediction of circulatory failure in the intensive care unit using machine learning”, published in Nature Medicine and resulting from a cooperation with Inselspital Bern, was singled out by the Award Committee for the “originality of the data, method and application”.
