The implementation of novel technologies like next-generation sequencing, untargeted metabolomics as well as spatial omics with single-cell resolution (e.g. spatial metabolomics, spatial transcriptomics) in cancer and microbiome research generates an incredible high amount and complexity of datasets. In order to extract disease-relevant signals from these high-dimensional datasets, the utilization of bioinformatics tools is crucial. At The M3 Research Center, we not only employ established bioinformatics tools but also develop novel approaches, including machine learning, to predict and explore new therapeutic options. For this reason, several laboratories dedicated to bioinformatics are housed at The M3 Research Center linking the “wet” laboratory with bioinformatic expertise.

Data science methods for biomedical research
Prof. Dr. Sven Nahnsen
Head of the research group
Through interfaces between heterogeneous data repositories, it is our goal to build Big (FAIR) Data ecosystems.
