Seifert Lab: Bioinformatics Core Unit
The fast progress in the development of experimental technologies enables to measure molecular data of complex diseases with unprecedented detail. The analysis of such heterogeneous data sets requires specific bioinformatics tools to disentangle the complex interplay of different regulatory layers associated with disease-causing processes.
The Bioinformatics Core Unit offers bioinformatics consulting and supports the analysis of molecular high-throughput data. We further develop innovative bioinformatics and systems biology methods for the integrative analysis of molecular high-throughput data.
Service and research focus
- Analysis of microarray and sequencing data
- Development of network-based methods and probabilistic models for the integrative analysis of heterogeneous molecular high-throughput data
- Identification of molecular alterations of astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma development
- Comparative analysis of brain and non-brain metastases of melanomas
- Molecular characterization of subgroups of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia
- Transmembrane receptors and their impact on therapy resistance of head and neck cancer
Projects
-
