Content

Single-cell technologies in conjunction with machine learning approaches are
transforming the life sciences and the understanding of complex diseases like
cancer. This lecture provides an introduction into (1) the biological and medical
questions that can be uniquely addressed by such single-cell approaches, (2)
state-of-the-art single-cell technologies such as high dimensional mass-/flow
cytometry, multi-omic and/or spatial single-cell sequencing/imaging, and (3)
(un-)supervised machine learning and dynamic modeling approaches to address
afore questions on the basis of high dimensional single-cell data.
Objectives

• Overview state-of-the-art single-cell technologies
• Translation of biological/medical research questions into machine learning problems
• Unsupervised/Supervised/Weakly-supervised machine learning models for characterization of cellular composition of tissues and their association with health/disease states
• Dynamic models for cellular systems
