Congratulations to @jhu-bdps.bsky.social Alan Yuille and his co-authors on winning a 2026 ICBS Frontiers of Science Award for their paper “DeepLab: Semantic Image Segmentation with Deep Convolutional Nets, Atrous Convolution, and Fully Connected CRFs”!
As a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Pombo is looking forward to opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations to work on projects immediately relevant to human disease.
Pombo notably developed Genome Architecture Mapping (GAM), which “preserves the structure of the organization of the genome, allowing for a more holistic understanding of the structure,” Pombo explains.
