About us
The Center for Biosystems and Biotech Data Science pursues the development of new mathematical and computational approaches for analyzing biosystems and for extracting knowledge from huge sets of biotech data (e.g., biological sequence data and biomedical imagery), paying attention to technical challenges such as:
- predictive analysis and visualization of biotech data;
- complexity reduction and validation of data-driven models for biotechnical processes and systems; and
- interpretability and robustness of data-driven models for biotechnical processes and systems.
The newly developed approaches have a wide variety of applications, ranging from cancer research and medical image diagnosis over drug development to plant phenotyping.
