Fabian Theis conducts research in the field of computational biology. The main focus of his work is the application of machine learning methods to biological questions, in particular as a means of modeling cell heterogeneities on the basis of single cell analyses and also of integrating “omics” data into systems medicine approaches.
Professor Theis received PhD degrees in physics and computer science in 2002 and 2003 respectively. After working as a postdoc in Regensburg, Tokyo and Tallahassee, he took up a position as Bernstein Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen. He then joined the German Research Center for Environmental Health, Helmholtz Z...
