Network Medicine
Predoctoral Fellow
Pisanu —Ize— studied physics, bioinformatics and systems biology in Bangkok, Helsinki, Stockholm, London and Aachen. He joined our group in 2016 as a PhD student. In his main project, he developed a multi-layer network framework to investigate rare diseases. He is now a Research Scientist at the biotech company Exscientia.
Master Student
Raphael studied molecular biology and bioinformatics at the University of Vienna. He did his Masters thesis in our group in 2021. He is now a PhD student at CeMM in the group of Christoph Bock.
Predoctoral Fellow
Michi was the first PhD student in our group, he joined us in 2015. He studied molecular Biology in Vienna, Milan and Zürich. In his main project, he combined high-throughput cell imaging with machine learning and network theory to elucidate fundamental principles of drug-drug interactions. He is now working as a Senior Data Scientist at the biotech start-up Proxygen.
Master Student
Markus studied mathematics at the University of Vienna and did his Master thesis in our group in close collaboration with Herbert Edelsbrunner at the IST Austria. He discovered and described a new class of biological networks characterized by a global ring structure. He is now doing his PhD at the University of Lausanne.
Summer Intern
Lucia studies mathematics at the University of Vienna. She joined us for a summer internship in 2022 to learn more about network-based approaches in data science and biomedical applications.
Summer Intern
Jovana studied biomedical engineering in Novi Sad. She joined us for a summer internship in 2019 to explore rare genetic diseases using our Virtual Reality platform.
Summer Intern
Iva studied molecular biology in Zagreb and Heidelberg. She joined us for a summer internship in 2021 to learn more about network medicine. She is now a PhD student in the group of Andre Rendeiro at CeMM in Vienna.
Master Student
Isabel studied molecular biology at the University of Vienna and did her Master thesis in our group. In her project she designed and tested a new drug library optimized for high-throughput high-content imaging screens. She is now working on new vaccines in the pharmaceutical company Themis Bioscience.
Guest Scientist
Jen has a background in mathematics, which she has applied to many problems including financial modeling, healthcare data, and natural language processing. Her main research interest is the application of cutting-edge methods in machine learning and model interpretability to problems in biology. She helped us build our first VR platform prototype. She is now working on her PhD at the IST Austria in the group of Dan Alistarh.
Master Student
Till studies bioinformatics at the University of Vienna. He joined our group in May 2022. In his Masters project he is developing new tools for interfacing with our VR platform.
