Genetical Statistics and Systems Biology

The goal of the working group "Genetic Statistics and Systems Biology" is the development and application of statistical and bioinformatic methods in genetics. This includes, for example, the planning and execution of studies, the administration and analysis of high-dimensional molecular genetic data (germline mutations, tumor cell line mutations, expression profiles, metabolome profiles), population genetics and integrative genome analyses. The work is accompanied by statistical or continuous modelling of diseases or physiological processes. To this purpose we cooperate with different national and international study groups on different diseases or phenotypes.
