Aus- und Fortbildung

CAS Hochschuldidaktik (2018), PHZH - Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich

My research group focuses on methods for computation genomics, evolution and semantic web technologies - with applications to a variety of problems in pharmacology, medicine, forensics, ecology and agriculture. We are interested in the theoretical aspects of modeling molecular evolution as well as data-driven applications of new methodologies, particularly the computational methods to study the process of gene and genome evolution and the process of adaptive genetic change. Data from transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics and epigenomics are growing rapidly and have serious impact on genomics and our understanding of molecular cell biology and its various effects on the phenotype and disease. But the challenge of understanding the dynamics of such large-system data can only be met through an integration of organism, molecular, and mathematical disciplines. New techniques need to be developed for discovering complex patterns from multi-faced systems biology data.
