Niko Beerenwinkel

Niko Beerenwinkel is full professor of computational biology at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich in Basel. His research is at the interface of mathematics, statistics, and computer science with biology and medicine. It includes the development of statistical models for high-throughput molecular profiling data, network-based analysis of genome-wide perturbation screens, evolutionary modeling, and clinical applications in oncology and infectious diseases. He has developed computational pipelines for molecular tumor boards, including methods for the analysis of single-cell sequencing data, and algorithms and tools for mining viral genomes and improving clinical diagnostics of viruses.
