Andy presented his work on "Modeling Genomic Instability Through Representational Learning of Cancer Mutational Profiles" at an event co-hosted by Bioinformatics Institute (BII) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Dr. Pitt was an invited speaker for the educational session, "New Insights from TCGA: Whole-Genome Sequencing Data Released," at the 2026 AACR Annual Meeting.
Dr. Pitt was invited to speak at the joint symposium between CSI Singapore and National Cancer Center (NCC) Japan.

Aakansha presented a poster at the NCIS Annual Research Meeting (NCAM) on her work, which focuses on integrating multiple types of mutation profiles to predict biologically and clinically relevant outcomes.

Dr. Pitt was invited to speak at the 51st Annual Meeting of Korea Cancer Association on the panel topic of "Advanced Cancer Genomics".
Aakansha presented a poster at the Thirteenth International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), on her work which focuses on integrating multiple data types from seqeuncing data into a single, biologically relevant embedding to reveal latent interdependencies. Her work was also accepted as a TinyPaper which can be viewed here for more details.

Dr. Pitt was grateful to share the lab’s efforts using novel generative AI models to create synthetic cancer mutational profiles.

Software engineer Akila Perera provided a virtual presentation on the Pitt Lab’s Scalable Workflows for Analyzing Genomes (Swag) framework at ParslFest 2024. Researchers in attendance included globally recognized HPC and cloud scientists. Way to go, Akila!
