Hi, I'm Francisco Correia Marques.

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics, ETH Zürich.
My research interests include Image analysis, Data science and Machine Learning and their applications to unravel multiscale mechanobiology.

What I Do

Here are a few topics I work on

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 spatial transcriptomics datasets from animal samples.

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.

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.
