Important! The first meeting on 2020/07/03/ will be held only as Zoom-meeting. If you want to participate in the seminar, please write us an e-mail, so we can send you the Zoom invitation link.

Covered Topics

Modern high-throughput technologies have revolutionized biomedical research by enabling comprehensive molecular profiling of biological systems. Methods like high-throughput sequencing, microarrays, or mass spectrometry are now routinely applied to generate huge multi-omics data sets.

Current research efforts even allow for the molecular characterization of individual cells and as a consequence enable the analysis of biological systems at a resolution previously not reached by traditional bulk experiments. On the one hand, the generation of more and more complex data sets enables researches to gain novel insights into the molecular machinery. On the other hand, this development also entails new requirements and challenges for computational methods.

This seminar covers bioinformatics approaches for the analysis of single cell data sets. Each participant will present a research paper that discusses an interesting computational method with the goal to gain novel insights into complex biological systems.

It will be held as a block seminar the week before the lectures start.
