The Department of Empirical Inference is active in several branches of Computational Biology. During the last few years, these activities were largely carried out with Gunnar Raetsch, Koji Tsuda and Karsten Borgwardt.
Our activities reach from method development to applied analyses in Genetics, Genomics, Systems Biology and Proteomics. Over the last years, they have intensified in the field of Genetics, which is currently turning into an information science in which the detection of statistical dependencies and frequent patterns in large datasets represents a key task in most studies.
