A "cell village" is a novel experimental platform where neural progenitor cells from dozens of genetically distinct donors are grown together in a single, shared culture. This approach allows scientists to accurately measure each donor's individual cell fitness—specifically how well their cells grow, divide, and survive—under perfectly identical environmental conditions.

Over the past decade, the #CompBioMed Centre of Excellence has strongly promoted the use of computational methods in medicine. 52 universities, companies and research institutes such as the LRZ have been working on the digital transformation of medicine and the computer-aided development of new drugs.

We spoke to Peter Coveney, Professor of Physical Chemistry and Computer Science and Director of CompBioMed, about their work: https://www.lrz.de/presse/ereignisse/2024-09-12-CompBioMed-Results/

Don't miss: Next week LRZ director Prof. Kranzlmueller will moderate a talk by Prof. Coveney from University College London with the title "Human Digital Twins: The Virtual Future of Medicine".

Prof. Coveney is currently Visiting Fellow at the LMU Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) and coordinator of the CompBioMed Centre of Excellence.

#HelloWorld, time to do my #introduction 👋

I’m a #computerScientist working as research fellow in #computationalMedicine and doing a lot of #bioinformatics and #geneticEpidemiology.

I develop and apply statistical and computational methods to identify #multiomics modifications influencing complex human phenotypes. I’ve also worked on the problem of #knowledgeDiscovery in biological data, and on the reverse engineering of #geneRegulatoryNetworks.
