Malte Luecken
Malte leads the integrative genomics lab at Helmholtz Munich. His lab uses machine learning and single-cell technologies to build reference atlases of human tissues and organs with the goal of using these resources for clinical applications, with a specific focus on lung disease. His lab is strongly involved in the Human Cell Atlas, where Malte leads the integration team. This team is spread across 3 continents and focuses on building integrated single-cell reference atlases for HCA Bionetwork organs and tissues.
Malte is also a co-founder of the Open Problems in Single-cell Analysis consortium, which hosts a living benchmarking platform and runs competitions in single-cell data science.
Sessions
The "Benchmarking Open Problems in Single Cell Analysis" workshop aims to address critical challenges in the field by fostering community engagement in the development of robust benchmarks. This 90-minute session will introduce participants to the core mission of the Open Problems in Single-Cell Analysis, followed by an interactive session where we will build a new benchmark from scratch. As part of this tutorial, participants not only learn about the technical aspects of setting up a benchmark within the Open Problems framework, but will also learn about essential best practices in benchmarking computational methods.
