Slide 1
Research Group Pattern Recognition
and Digital Medicine

Daniel Hübschmann
Group Leader

The group focuses on method development and application of pattern recognition algorithms, both supervised and unsupervised. Tools and software, originating from both own development and external colleagues, are applied to high dimensional data sets, which were often, but not exclusively generated by high throughput and omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, different epigenetic readouts). A majority of the data originates from cancer samples or sequencing projects, but the developed software has also been successfully applied to data generated from non-neoplastic biological specimen.

Keywords: Bioinformatics, single cell, multi-omics integration, personalized oncology

Scientific Software

YAPSA

YAPSA is an R package providing functionality for supervised pattern recognition with a special focus on analysis of mutational signatures:

Bratwurst

Bratwurst is a software designed for unsupervised or semi-supervised pattern recognition with non-negative matrix factorization (NMF).
