Emma Dann

Emma is a Master student in Biomedical Sciences at Utrecht University (NL), following a bioinformatics oriented profile. She joined the Huber group for an 8 months internship and is working in collaboration with Cellzome on a large and complex dataset of multi-omic profiling of heterogeneous perturbagen treatments to characterize the phenotypic response of human cells to epigenetic drugs.

Holly Giles

Holly graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Natural Sciences. For her thesis, she investigated the within-host diversity of influenza infections using statistical methods. In 2016, she undertook an internship at the Francis Crick Institute, London, during which she investigated potential new methods of influenza surveillance and vaccine research.

Anna Sommani

Anna is a Master student in Physics at the University of Heidelberg with a curriculum specialised in computational physics and biophysics. She joined the Huber group to work on a 12 month interdisciplinary project in collaboration with the Merten group (EMBL Heidelberg). The project uses the latest microfluidic approaches for antibody discovery in combination with single-cell RNA sequencing. Her research is to develop, test and apply the high-level statistical data analysis needed for this cutting-edge single-cell analysis platform.

Frederik Ziebell

Frederik has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Heidelberg University and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). He works on developing statistical methods for high-dimensional heterogeneous data and the analysis of multi-omic level drug treatment effects in collaboration with Cellzome.
