PALS Grant Awarded to Gisele Miranda and Avlant Nilsson
Gisele Miranda and Avlant Nilsson (Karolinska Institutet - KI) have been awarded a grant through the Program for Academic Leaders in Life Science (PALS). PALS is a collaboration between the DDLS, SciLifeLab, and WCMM Fellow programs, co-funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, with the goal of fostering new collaborations among early-career research leaders in Sweden.
The funded project, Linking Omics and Images with Deep Learning to Decode Cellular Responses, combines the complementary expertise of the two groups to better understand how genetic perturbations shape cellular behavior. The project will integrate image-based profiling and omics-based modeling through deep learning, creating a framework that links molecular signaling networks with cellular phenotypes. By combining high-content microscopy data with molecular measurements, the project aims to uncover mechanistic relationships between cellular state and morphology in PDAC.
We are grateful to PALS and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for their support and look forward to strengthening this exciting collaboration between groups at KTH and KI.
