Dr. Anne Hoffmann

Anne Hoffmann began her academic journey with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Bioinformatics at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. During her studies, she worked as a student research assistant on projects in molecular genetics, next-generation sequencing data anylsis, and clinical data management. For her Master’s degree, she received the Ferchau Engineering Advancement Award (2016) in recognition of outstanding academic achievement.

She completed her PhD at the University of Leipzig under the supervision of Prof. Peter Stadler, focusing on the development of novel RNA-seq methodologies for short RNAs and transcriptome-wide RNA modification profiling. Her doctoral thesis, “The Marvelous World of tRNAs: From Accurate Mapping to Chemical Modifications,” received the highest academic distinction (summa cum laude).

Anne is leading the bioinformatics core, providing bioinformatic support and services to all institute members to ensure successful research execution in clinical obesity research. Her own research project focuses on revealing obesity heterogeneity through machine learning-based patient clustering. By identifying specific risk factors and metabolic traits associated with different obesity subgroups, this project aims to enhance personalized management strategies and improve long-term adherence to treatment plans for individuals affected by obesity.
