Computational Health Center

Institute of Computational Biology

The Institute of Computational Biology (ICB) develops models and methods for data analysis in systems biology and systems medicine. We integrate information on multiple scales, ranging from single-cell time series to cohort omics data. Heterogeneities in the data are modeled using statistical and dynamical approaches, both on the cellular and the population level.

About us

We develop innovative methods and tools in

  • data sciences
  • dynamical modeling
  • integrative omics and
  • bioimage informatics

and apply them collaboratively with our experimental partners to

  • modeling stem cell decisions
  • modeling transcriptional heterogeneities and
  • Quantifying gene-environment effects in diabetes and lung disease

to jointly advance our understanding and treatment of human diseases.
