Interested in doing research in computational systems biology? The following projects are available to master students (internships / master theses). Feel free to get in touch and ask questions.
Proposed projects
- Analysis of single-cell data of neuroblastoma cells
- Prediction of cell-cell interactions from (single-cell) transcriptomes
- Quantifying variance components in biological systems
- Biology-inspired deep learning
- Your ideas
Requirements
- Student from biomedical disciplines interested to learn more about computational biology
- Students from quantitative disciplines (computer science, data science, statstics, mathematics, physics, ...) with interest in biology
Skills learned
Projects will be designed and performed based on individual skills and interests. Students are required to learn the programming and statistics skills necessary to handle big biological datasets in the course of the project and under supervision. Projects will / can further include:
- Collaboration with experimental biochemists to validate results of computational analyses
- Development of advanced statistics, machine learning, and network biology to model biological systems
- Development of databases and software packages to make computational results broadly available
- Meta-analyses of large, existing datasets to answer broader and more conceptual questions
