Doctoral Grant biomolecular data mining

The biodata mining team (ADReM / biomina) aims to remove important limitations in the interpretation of big molecular data with cutting-edge data mining technologies. In this project we will study new pattern-mining algorithms to incorporate contextual biomolecular information in approaches to discover patterns that are novel, interesting and unexpected.
