Zahra Moslehi
Joined as a Postdoc
Postdoc at DKFZ
Short info: ith my background on metric learning and representation learning and a Phd in ML, I joined the La Manno lab as a postdoctoral researcher to develop pipelines for the integration of snRNA-seq and snATAC-seq datasets for clustering purposes and to build robust prediction models of transitions between cellular states.

Christian Schneider
Joined as an MD/PhD student
Currently continuing MD education
Short info: During my research stay at EPFL, I worked on the development of techniques in spatial omics and temporal omics, both in the wet lab and bioinformatic settings. I applied these techniques to study central nervous system development in vertebrates and fruit flies.
