Horn Lab

​In our young team of computational scientists we perform translational, connective work on complex molecular genetic data sets with a focus on cancer. We improve analyses of large-scale genetic data and associated clinical and phenotypic traits bridging across medical fields, such as oncoloy, dermatology and obesity research. We are based at the Medical Faculty of the University of Leipzig and the Department of Dermatology and the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) at the University Hospital Essen, Germany.
