Understanding regulatory genomics in diseases.

Welcome to the Biomedical Genomics Group @ IPMB !

We are part of the Institute for Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology and BioQuant Center . We are working on understanding gene (de)regulation in disease, in particular cancer, mental disorders and infection.

We develop novel methods to integrate large scale genomics datasets, using statistical and machine-learning approaches. We focus in particular on epigenomics data and single-cell approaches.

We are always interested in hosting bachelor/master/rotation students! Do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in topics such as

  • computational gene regulation
  • epigenetics
  • single-cell data
  • machine-learning
