Keynote speakers

Dr. Matthias Heinig

Position
Junior Group Leader Genetic and Epigenetic Gene Regulation

Organisation
Helmholtz Zentrum München - Institute of Computational Biology

Matthias Heinig conducts research in the field of computational biology. His aim is the development and application of computational and statistical tools for the identification of molecular regulatory networks underlying common diseases and the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms controlling these networks from population level DNA and multi-omics data sets.

Prof.dr.ir. Boudewijn Lelieveldt

Position
Professor of Biomedical Imaging/Head of the Division of Image Processing 

Organisation
TU Delft - Department of Intelligent Systems/Leiden University Medical Center - Department of Radiology

Boudewijn Lelieveldt's research interest is data analytics for spatially resolved –omics data, with applications in clinical imaging and biology.
