The group Big Data Analytics in Bioinformatics focuses on Data-Driven Population Genetics. We develop and analyze mathematical models and machine learning tools to analyze the forces shaping the evolutionary history and adaptability of populations.

Before moving to Gießen, the group was an independent research group on Mathematical and Computational Population Genetics, which was and partly still is part of two Clusters of Excellence in Tübingen, Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections and Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science.
