We are a research group at CeMM - the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Network Medicine at the University of Vienna working on computational and molecular methods to study human aging and pathology.

We are interested in uncovering the architectural patterns of the human body across anatomical scales: cellular and micro-anatomical organization, and organ-wide patterns.

We think that these patterns hold the key to understand how cellular changes lead to the progressive loss of physiological ability as individuals age and can be predictive of disease risk and its onset.

To do that, we primarily develop computational methods and software tools for the analysis of spatial data (digital pathology, spatial transcriptomics, highly multiplexed imaging), and its integration with various modalities of molecular and clinical data of individuals along their lifespan.
