Our Research

In our group we focus on developing AI technology to gain understanding of biological systems from high throughput measurements.

In order to achieve this, we develop and use a wide range of computational technology, including:
– Explainable AI
– Simulations of biological systems
– Bioinformatics workflows
– Multi-omics integration techniques, combining different types of measurements.
– Pathway analysis

We work on various biological problems, including:
– The impact of genomics alterations in cancer
– Mechanisms of protein aggregation
– Finding novel biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease
– Unravelling plant-microbiome interactions.
