Senior🎓
Top SchoolLukas Burger is a senior computational biologist with 12+ years of experience applying physics-rooted quantitative thinking to genomics and proteomics problems, currently leading ML-driven analysis in the Schübeler Lab at the Friedrich Miescher Institute. He transitioned from developing Bayesian methods for protein contact prediction during his PhD to integrating and modeling diverse genomics assays (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, NOME-seq, SLAM-seq, bisulfite-seq) using machine- and deep-learning approaches. Lukas combines hands-on analysis and tool development with supervision and training of PhD students and postdocs, enabling reproducible, large-scale studies. Based in Basel, he blends a strong theoretical background in computational physics with practical expertise in single-cell and bulk sequencing analysis, and a track record of translating methodological advances into collaborative biological insights.
