Area of Research

Description of Research Interest

We are investigating topics in clinical data science and translational bioinformatics, such as knowledge discovery from Big Data sources (Electronic Medical Record), development of Natural Language processing, information retrieval and extraction routines, as well the analysis of human Omics data, with a special emphasis on cancer genetics. One key goal is the generation of predictive algorithms for guiding patient therapy across all disease stages. For example, we have elucidated different aspects of melanoma biology, with direct consequences for melanoma diagnosis and treatment.
