Heidelberg University
Benedikt Brors uses in his research methods from computer science, statistics and mathematics to study fundamental questions in cancer research based on high-dimensional data from “omics” technologies. In particular, he has pioneered to use computational methods in precision oncology to predict systemic, targeted therapies and immunotherapies for treatment of advanced-stage cancer. His research comprises as well tumor classification by machine learning methods, cancer epigenetics, and interaction of tumor cells with the immune system.
