Integrative Bioinformatics and Statistics Group at SDU

The group is headed by Afsaneh Nejad at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense.

We focus on developing, improving, and applying statistical models and machine learning techniques to address a wide range of challenges in biological and health data. This includes: i) Interpretable and human-in-the-loop computational approaches that ensure transparency and keep domain experts actively involved in the analysis. ii) Multi-omics integration to analyze high-dimensional, heterogeneous, and sparse biological data spanning bulk, single-cell, and spatial measurements across genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. iii) Developing statistical models and tools to deal with challenges in single-cell data analysis.

Many of the projects are in collaboration with the Odense University Hospital, the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Biodemography as well as the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Denmark. We also collaborate with Technische Universität Braunschweig (Germany), and Johansen & Johansen (J&J) (USA).
