We are thrilled to announce our collaboration on the paper “PSF toolkit: an R package for pathway curation and topology-aware analysis” with the Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Leipzig, and RAU. The paper has been successfully published in Frontiers in Genetics. The PSF toolkit introduces an accessible solution for biologists and bioinformaticians to analyze biological pathways – the intricate networks of protein interactions within cells. This tool promises a… Read More »The new paper “PSF toolkit: an R package for pathway curation and topology-aware Analysis” published

Our research on the profiling of colorectal cancer liver metastasis is now available!The publication is the result of a one-year’s research of an ABI team of students and researchers led by Dr. Hans Binder together with scientists from Leipzig University and supported by Agenus Inc, a Boston-based company developing immunotherapies against cancer. Liver metastasis, linked with poor prognosis, is a common occurrence in various cancers, including colorectal cancer. Such metastases… Read More »ABI Team’s Pioneering Research Uncovers Vital Insights into Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis and Treatment Approaches
