Einleitungstext

The Department of Medical Bioinformatics at the University Medical Center Göttingen is a leading research group in the bioinformatic analysis of biomedical high-throughput data. Our work focuses on the development of biomarker signatures, statistical methods, and machine learning approaches for personalised and systems medicine.

We are embedded in multiple DFG- and BMBF-funded collaborative research projects, with a strong focus on the analysis of cancer omics data — including genomics, transcriptomics, and spatial transcriptomics — and the development of innovative AI and machine learning methods. We work in close collaboration with clinical and experimental partners in national and international research consortia.
