Our group is led by Prof. Raphael Gottardo, Director of the Center, Full Professor in the Faculty of Biology and Medicine at the University of Lausanne, and Adjunct Professor at EPFL. The group focuses on the development and application of statistical and computational methods, in particular probabilistic and Bayesian approaches, to address major biological questions.
The group concentrates on the generation and analysis of data from recent technologies, including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, as well as their integration with clinical data. We adopt an end-to-end approach, from data generation to biological interpretation, to develop methods that are closely aligned with biological questions and maximize their impact.
The group’s activities span several key areas, including immunology, cancer immunotherapy, vaccinology, immune responses to infectious diseases, and dermatology.

As part of the European IMMUcan project (Integrated iMMUnoprofiling of large adaptive CANcer patient cohorts), we are working on identifying new predictive biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
We are part of the MOSAIC consortium, which aims to build the largest reference dataset in spatial omics for oncology. This dataset will help uncover treatment resistance mechanisms and improve patient stratification, ultimately paving the way for the discovery and development of personalized therapies.
We take part in the European SOLVE project, which aims to develop advanced vaccine technologies for stronger and longer-lasting protection against COVID-19. Within this project, our team builds and maintains a system for managing and analyzing high-dimensional data generated during vaccine trials.
