FIMM · HiLIFE · University of Helsinki
We develop machine learning methods for biology and medicine: how mutations arise and cause disease, how to predict cancer patient outcomes, and how to make sense of complex, multimodal data. We work in close collaboration with clinicians, biologists and other domain experts.
