The article was initially published in Ekspress by Greete Lehepuu. The app works like Google Maps: given genetic coordinates associated with a disease it finds which gene is likely to cause the disease and in which tissue. Imagine that the only way to find your way in an unknown city is to buy the map […]

By Dmytro Fishman, Junior Lecturer of Data Science The human organism is a profoundly complex mechanism, consisting of trillions of cells, each powered by about 42 million protein molecules that interact with one another in a gazillion of ways. Recently, scientists developed technologies (i.e. high-throughput screening) that enable us to listen and record data from […]

Lühidalt: ITTM kestab nüüd kaks semestrist (ehk ühe aasta) Neli tudengit on hetkel praktikal Pipedrive-s, üks Eesti Energias, üks Reach-U-s ITTM-i tootmissektorile suunatud pilootprogramm jätkub koostöös Columbus Eesti ja Barrusega Osalevate tudengite jaoks on endiselt suurim motivaator saada praktilist kogemust ettevõtetes Järgmise aasta programmi saab praktikapositsioone esitama hakata talvel Sul pole õrna aimu, mis on […]

In short: IMP now lasts two semesters (i.e., one year) Four students currently doing their internship at Pipedrive, one at Eesti Energia, one at Reach-U IMP internship pilot for manufacturing companies still on-going in cooperation with Columbus Estonia and Barrus Getting hands-on experience at companies is still the main motivator for enrolled students Submission of […]

Õppekava „IT mitteinformaatikutele“ on üks Tartu Ülikooli populaarsemaid programme, mis annab kõrgharidusega spetsialistidele ja juhtidele vajalikud teadmised ning oskused digipöörde juhtimiseks ja lahenduste arendamiseks. Järgnevas blogipostituses tutvustab õppekava programmijuht kaasprofessor Kuldar Taveter kuut põhjust, miks tulla õppima. Esimese ja kõige olulisema põhjusena tooksin välja, et kuna õppekava on suunatud erinevate valdkondade ekspertidele, kellest enamikul on […]

On June 28, Dmytro Fishman defended his PhD thesis on “Developing a data analysis pipeline for automated protein profiling in immunology”. In this work, Dmytro and his collaborators explored the dynamics of autoimmune diseases as well as developed a software tool that simplifies similar research in the future. Proteins are essential elements of all living […]

By Anastasiia Shevchenko The competitive advantage of a manufacturing company consists of the relation between the delivery time, price, quality and flexibility. The customer’s expectation of the best relation between the above factors triggers the company’s need to constantly monitor its processes, making them more efficient. When identifying bottlenecks, it is important to maintain objectivity […]

On June 21, Liis Kolberg defended her PhD thesis on “Developing and applying bioinformatics tools for gene expression data interpretation” which provides convenient tools that simplify the work of biologists and saves their time.  Modern technologies enable researchers to simultaneously measure the expression levels of all genes under different conditions and in different groups of […]

Another round of digital product management industry projects is successfully completed in the Sandbox! This semester we had four industry partners, and our student teams did excellent work in addressing the challenges and prototyping proposed solutions. SEB PankThe challenge: find a way how to help its clients on the journey towards a green home. During […]

Estonia does not have many natural minerals or a significant population like many wealthy countries, but it has the most unicorns per capita globally. As most unicorns use technology to offer solutions for solving problems, we need more IT practitioners who can use computation power to solve various algorithmic issues.  “Thinking computationally is not anymore […]

While human average life expectancy has surged in the past century, a growing concern is a rising disease burden in the later stages of life. It is well known that lifestyle choices can help to prevent or delay disease onset, but once the disease has manifested, medical treatment (such as in the form of drugs) […]
