Systems Biology Student Projects at LIS

Responsible Assistant: Thomas Schaffter

The systems biology / computational biology semester and master projects are listed together with the other student projects offered by the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) on the LIS student projects page.

The projects are open to students of all sections. Prerequisites are a strong motivation for the project and the necessary C/C++ programming skills. Of course, the projects are especially well suited for computer science students with a specialization in biocomputing or for live sciences students with good programming skills.

If you are interested in doing one of the projects or if you would like further information, please contact Thomas Schaffter.

Past Master Projects

  • Nadir Hadbi: Generation of biologically plausible genetic regulatory network reverse engineering benchmarks.

  • Fanny Riedo: In silico evolution of biochemical networks.

  • Thomas Schaffter: Scalable Reverse Engineering of Nonlinear Gene Networks.

Past Semester Projects

  • Thomas Schaffter: Modularity and community structure in complex networks.

  • Andreas Weishaupt: Scalable reverse engineering of nonlinear gene networks in the presence of noise.
