معرفی
Daniele Capocefalo is a bioinformatician at the Bioinformatics HUB of Institut Pasteur in Paris, France. He joined the institute in October 2023 and is currently working in the ML4IG lab under Dr. Laura Cantini.
His educational background includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from Tor Vergata University, Rome (2010)
- Master of Science in Bioinformatics from Tor Vergata University, Rome (2014)
- PhD in Life Sciences and 'omics' from Sapienza University, Rome (2014-2019)
Capocefalo has extensive expertise in the analysis of omics data, particularly transcriptomics, genomics, and epigenetics, both single-cell and bulk. His research focuses on graph-based approaches and network analysis to tackle biological challenges in developmental biology and cancer research. He previously worked as a bioinformatician at Ospedale Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza in Rome (2014-2019) and as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milan, Human Technopole, and European Institute of Oncology in Milan (2019-2023).
His recent work includes the development of methodologies to integrate multiple sources of information from single-cell and bulk omics data, particularly in the context of fetal brain development and craniofacial development. In 2025, he co-authored a significant paper in iScience on IL-23 signaling in mucosal-associated invariant T cells, which demonstrates his ability to bridge computational methods with immunological research to understand chronic inflammatory diseases.
Capocefalo's research demonstrates strong integration of biological knowledge with advanced computational techniques, with applications spanning developmental biology, cancer research, and immunology.
