Lukas Klein

I am a PostDoc at EPFL and the University Hospital Zürich, working with Charlotte Bunne and Andreas Wicki.

My interdisciplinary research advances personalized medicine by developing AI for spatial omics technologies that tackle diagnostic, therapeutic, and discovery tasks.

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at ETH Zürich and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), supervised by Joachim Buhmann and Paul Jäger.
