Introduction
My name in Holger Hoefling and I am a Statistician, Machine Learner and Bioinformatician. For the last 10 years I have worked for Novartis in various roles, currently as the Lead of the machine learning group in Data Science, NX, NIBR.
In my career I have worked on a wide range of data science problems in the healthcare field. This experience spans from working on clinical study protocols, the development of predictive algorithms for kidney disease to the statistical analysis of experiments in early non-clinical research with microarray, NGS and other biomarker data.
More recently I have been the leader of a team of machine learners working on applications in cheminformatics as well deep learning on histopathology images and other imaging applications.
