Professor Florian Markowetz is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students.

Research description: 

We develop computational approaches for the systems genetics of cancer. To identify drivers of cancer we link genetic data to molecular and cellular phenotypes. Our work combines two complementary directions by (1) analyzing global portraits of cancer and (2) modeling key mechanisms and their response to perturbations.
