Thesis projects

Interested in carrying out a Bioinformatics project or M.Sc. thesis in the Andersson Lab? Please send Robin an email to arrange a meeting and discuss possible projects.

Example project areas include:

  • Machine learning models of gene regulation and regulatory DNA sequence
  • Computational methods for identifying active regulatory elements from transcription initiation data
  • Computational methods for mapping enhancer–gene interactions from single-cell genomics data
  • Atlas-scale analysis of regulatory elements across cell types and biological systems
  • Variant-to-function prediction and interpretation of noncoding genetic variation

Students are encouraged to develop independent research projects while working closely with members of the lab. Projects typically combine method development with applications to large-scale genomics datasets.
