Navigating research projects
It is crucial to set clear and realistic deadlines for the exploratory phases of a project.
Hi, I'm Francisco Correia Marques.
I am a Doctoral student at Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics, ETH Zürich.
My research interests include Image analysis, Data science and Machine Learning and their applications to unravel bone mechanobiology.
What I Do
Here are a few topics I work on
micro Finite Element Analysis
Run sample-specific simulations to estimate the mechanical signal in 3D bone structures derived from in vivo micro Computed Tomography images.
Image Analysis
Develop scalable automated pipelines to analyse large amounts of histology and in vivo micro Computed Tomography images and extract quantitative relationships with biological relevance.
Bioinformatics
Establish computational pipelines to analyse single-cell protein and gene expression profiles extracted from animal samples.
in silico Modelling of Bone Adaptation
Run sample-specific remodelling simulations to investigate bone adaptation at the tissue level using a validated in silico model based on surface advection.

Scientific storytelling
Developing this skill often follows some periodicity, alternating between periods of self-reflection and peer discussion.
My first overseas conference
The diversity of topics and presentation methods pushed each presenter to make the best use of time available and highlight their key findings.
