My group is interested in the development of computational frameworks for omic data integration and analysis. In particular our focus is on the reconstruction and analysis of biological networks and regulatory circuits in cancer and neurological diseases.

The research topics of the group are: - Development of novel methods for the analysis and integration of omic data - Pathway Analysis - Cancer Genomics and transcriptomics - Analysis of magnetic resonance data in multiple sclerosis diseases
