Bioinformatik der Infektionsforschung

Die Abteilung “Bioinformatik der Infektionsforschung” erforscht mit computergestützten Techniken das menschliche Mikrobiom, virale und bakterielle Pathogene sowie menschliche Zelllinien anhand von großen biologischen und epidemiologischen Datensätzen. Durch die Analyse von Metaom-, Populationsgenom- und Einzelzellgenomdaten erzeugen wir experimentell überprüfbare Hypothesen,  wie z.b. welche Veränderungen an Proteinen oder welche Gene assoziiert sind mit dem Auftreten einer Krankheit, von Antibiotikaresistenzen oder dem Ausweichen des Immunschutzes durch Pathogene. Wir arbeiten mit experimentellen Kollaborationspartnern zusammen, um unsere Erkenntnisse zu verifizieren und deren Translation in die medizinische Diagnostik und Behandlung zu fördern. Um die Forschungsziele zu erreichen, entwickelt die Abteilung auch neue Algorithmen und Bioinformatik-Software.
