Giovanni Micale
I took my Master Degree in Computer Science at the Department of Maths and Computer Science of University of Catania in 2011. In 2015 I took my PhD in Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science of University of Pisa. From 2016 to 2018 I was Research Fellow at the Department of Maths and Computer Science of University of Catania and I have been a Research Fellow at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine from February 1st to August 1st, 2019. I have a good knowledge of English language and a basic knowledge of Biology. I have an expertise in programming and statistical analysis of data, with a very good knowledge of Java and R programming languages.
EN My research activity mainly focuses on network analysis, with special emphasis on the biological and clinical applications. More specifically, I work on network comparison (e.g. network alignment of protein-protein interaction networks and 3D protein structures) and pattern and motif search in networks. I’m currently collaborating with Prof. Paolo Vigneri and the Center of Experimental Oncology and Ematology of Policlinico Hospital in Catania, where I work on the development of data mining algorithms in the clinical field for studying mutations in breast cancer patients.
