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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">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 Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig (Germany), and Johansen &amp; Johansen (J&amp;J) (USA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
