I am a Group Leader at Evotec SE, a drug development company and contract research organization (CRO). We use bioinformatics and computational biology to support a variety of internal and customer-facing projects in the omics space. Apart from delivering standardized and reproducible analyses, we regularly engage in omics platform development for highly customized approaches.

I have 15+ years of experience as a data scientist, specializing in data-driven discovery and reproducible computational analyses of biological high-throughput data. In my capacity as Group Leader at Evotec, I lead the development of innovative data analysis and management strategies to support drug development and target identification. I have led and mentored many highly-skilled scientists and am experienced in strategic recruitment to build strong teams from the ground up. I am well versed in managing resources and cost centers. I have consulted on data and technical strategies, resulting in optimized outcomes and cost savings for my organization. I have also been part of the design, implementation, and management of efficient and reliable Linux-based compute infrastructure, enabling teams to work on large-scale data analysis projects.
