The importance of DNA damage in all areas of disease and the potential for personally tailored oncological treatments based on the analysis of DNA damage using machine learning, with Dr Anna Poetsch

The Genomics Lab

This week we speak to Anna Postsch. Anna is a group leader at the biotechnology center at the University Dresden! Her group employs computational techniques and machine learning approaches to assess and model DNA damage and repair processes, mutagenesis and genome editing to develop clinical applications. We also had some interesting conversations about taking machine learning methods into medicine and the security and trust surrounding machine learning. Dr Poetsch also discusses her diverse background and interesting career journey to her current position!! Listen along to find out all about her academic background, her research and insight into applying ML in the biomedical world.
