Christoph Bock
Christoph Bock is a German bioinformatician and principal investigator at the Research Center for Molecular Medicine (CeMM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and a visiting professor at the Medical University of Vienna. Education Bock carried out his undergraduate studies at the University of Mannheim, focusing on computer science and business information, with an emphasis on machine learning. Bock gained his PhD in 2008 from Saarland University for research carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics on computational epigenetics supervised by Thomas Lengauer. Research and career Following his PhD, he undertook postdoctoral research with Alexander Meissner at the Broad Institute, where he contributed to the NCBI Epigenomics#Roadmap Epigenomics Project, NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Project. Bock joined CeMM as a principal investigator in 2012. His research focuses on the application of machine learning and biostatistics to computational epigenetics. He is also interested ...

Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics () is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data, in particular when the data sets are large and complex. As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, information engineering, mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret the biological data. Bioinformatics has been used for '' in silico'' analyses of biological queries using computational and statistical techniques. Bioinformatics includes biological studies that use computer programming as part of their methodology, as well as specific analysis "pipelines" that are repeatedly used, particularly in the field of genomics. Common uses of bioinformatics include the identification of candidates genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Often, such identification is made with the aim to better understand the genetic basis of disease, unique adaptations, desirable properties (e ...
