Dr. Lorenz Adlung | “May contain fat - a conceptual introduction to systems immunology for data scientists”

Wednesday 6 Jul 2022, 16:00 → 19:00 Europe/Berlin

Lecture Hall (Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB))

We are happy to announce that the welcome lecture for the hybrid events of our networking series "Data Science for Science" will be held by Dr. Lorenz Adlung (Junior Group Leader, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf). We are very much looking forward to his talk entitled “May contain fat - a conceptual introduction to systems immunology for data scientists”.

Abstract

Our immune system operates on different scales in space and time. Molecular signalling cascades transduce input cues almost instantly, cells exhibit a wide range of turnover times and entire organs change as individuals age. Highly dimensional data features quantitative alterations in both, physiological as well as pathological settings. Given those information, the utilisation of computational models enables us to optimise experimental design, test hypotheses and infer complex dynamics in health and disease. The Adlung Lab, launched in July 2021 at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), addresses fundamental questions with clinical relevance by a combination of quantitative data generation and computational modelling. In my talk, I will conceptualise our data- and knowledge-driven research with the paradigm: adipose tissue - or as data scientists may well say: fat.
