Data-driven Cell and molecular biology

The subject area concerns research that fundamentally transforms our knowledge about how cells function by analyzing data from their molecular components in time and space, from single molecules to native tissue environments. This research subject area aims to lead the development or application of novel data-driven methods relying on machine learning, artificial intelligence, or other computational techniques to analyze, integrate and make sense of cell and molecular data.


Research area specific expert group

The DDLS-Steering group has appointed research area (RA) specific expert groups to plan,
coordinate and steer activities within each RA. The members were selected in an open call for nominations.

The role of a DDLS research area specific expert group is to:
• advise on research area specific strategies and research profiles for the scientific programs of the DDLS
• suggest and co-organize activities and community events around the research area topics.
• advise on the design of calls and take part in evaluation or pre-screening of grant calls.
• advise and support the DDLS fellows, post docs and PhDs within the area.
• advise and support DDLS data services and bioinformatics support, the training hub and research school within each research area.
• engage the national DDLS community within each RA, consider policy issues as well as relevant ethical, legal and societal challenges.


Members of The Data-driven Data-driven Cell and Molecular Biology expert group:

Arne Elofsson, Stockholm University
Ola Engkvist, AstraZeneca
Eduardo Villablanca, Karolinska Institutet
Marc Friedländer, Stockholm University
Ida-Maria Sintorn, Uppsala University
Sebastian  Westenhoff, Uppsala University
Margit Mahlapuu, University of Gothenburg, (chair and adjunct member of the DDLS steering group)
