About us
We deploy concepts from non-linear dynamics and complex systems to develop mathematical models that unravel the self-organizing principles behind the interactions with biological entities.
Team

The complementary experience and research emphases of our team allow integrating all scales of resolution from genetic code to phenotypic expression.

Projects

A particular focus is put on the field of cancer research which culminated in the design of computational diagnostics pipelines for the Molecular Tumor Board at the UKSH Lübeck, which is an interface between clinical treatment and cutting-edge scientific insights by applying state-of-the-art sequencing and analysis approaches to the most challenging cases.
