At TOMSBio lab we seek to create a multidisciplinary team where exact & computational sciences and food technology & agriculture topics are emphasized and combined. Because we believe that the scientific process is more fun when conducted in teams, we promote and foster collaborative research both inside and outside the lab (read more about Team Science here). The use of English inside the lab is encouraged between all team members.
Master’s thesis (TFM) offered at TOMSBio lab
This year, the Transcriptional Orchestration of Metabolism studied through Systems Biology lab offers a range of final year master’s project (TFM) proposals from which to choose from:
● Multiomics integration to study the transcriptional regulation of cannabinoid and terpenoid pathways in Cannabis sativa (see PDF)
● Assembling and annotating the genome of a living plant fossil: Araucaria araucana (see PDF)
● Using network theory to study non-coding RNA regulation of stilbenoid metabolism in Vitis vinifera (see PDF)
● Genomic Insights into Three Locally Adapted Diatoms from the Albufera Coastal Lagoon (see PDF)
Further details on each proposal can be found in the individual pdfs.
About the lab
Our main interest is the study of specialised metabolites and how they are produced in different species of interest. We recognise that both experimental and bioinformatic approaches are required for an in-depth understanding of biology at a systematic level whilst still engaging in hypothesis-driven research. The lab has a well-established bioinformatics team that will be able to offer their expertise and guidance. Previous bioinformatic work in the lab includes the generation of whole genome co-expression networks, DAP-seq analyses in a range of plant species, development of structural genome annotation tools and full-stack development of the PlantaeViz portal.
