Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Murphy is an internationally well known expert in computational biology who pioneered the field of location proteomics, a revolutionary approach that describes and relates the location of proteins within cells through entirely computationally driven methods. His research established for the first time the feasibility of automatically and objectively analyzing complex patterns in fluorescence microscope images. In Germany, Professor Murphy works on generalizing automated localization results across more than one cell type or organism.
