Matthias Schlesner
German Cancer Research Center
Heidelberg University
Matthias Schlesner‘s research focuses on the integrative analysis of large-scale biomedical data and the development of computational methods for the analysis of omics data. Specific aims include to improve the understanding of mechanisms driving malignant transformation and tumour progression, and to identify tumour-specific vulnerabilities as well as resistance mechanisms. The analysis pipelines developed in his group are used for whole genome sequence data analysis at the DKFZ, in the three German projects within the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), and as core analysis pipelines in the ICGC Pan Cancer of Whole Genome Analysis (PCAWG) initiative.
