Research

I'm group leader of the BioMedical Data Science group at the Center for Computational and Theoretical Biology (CCTB).
I studied Biology und Informatics at the University of Würzburg and did my PhD in the Graduate School of Life Sciences.

My research interests are the development and application of algorithms, tools and workflows to generate knowledge from biological and medical data.
Currently my focus is on multi-modal methods and model interpretability in machine learning.
