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.
