About me

Hey, listen!

Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Johann.

I was trained as a software developer at ModulAcht e. K. and have several years of experience in developing websites (C#, ASP.NET, HTML, CSS and such), desktop and lately also mobile applications (mostly C# and Java, for mobile development Flutter/Dart).

I studied Bioinformatics (BSc and Msc) at the joined program of the LMU and TUM in Munich.

I did my PhD at Matthias Heinig's Lab at the Institute of Computational Biology at the Helmholtz Zentrum München. During my PhD I focused on network inference from multi-omics data and understanding the general genetic and epigenetic principles of gene expression regulation.

Right now, I'm very excited about all the possibilities AI and IT in general can offer in medical settings, such as improving patient diagnostics and treatment (i.e. personalized medicine). While this is a challenging field, not alone due to data security/privacy and data heterogeneity issues, I'm very much looking forward to tackling projects in this direction. To this end, I am currently doing a PostDoc at the German Heart Center, where I'm both analyzing clinical and molecular patient data and building a large infrastructure to ease their integration and analysis (creation of a central 'datalake').

What else? Here you can find a current list of publications (more to come!), Here you can find my CV and you can also find me on twitter. Here's a link to my ORCID, and.. well, yeah, that's all for now.

If you dig more through these pages you may also find a collection of posts mostly on data analysis related stuff.
I'll be analyzing different and mostly random Kaggle and other datasets whenever I got some spare time. I'll also post about other stuff which I found to be either difficult for me to solve or simply interesting or which I feel could be important for others, too.

Until then, farewell!
