Academic Pathway

Dominik Lutter’s research focusses on the intersection between applied data science and systemic metabolism. The primary and long-term objective of his research is to advance a systemic view on the development of insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). In close collaboration with his experimental partners he follows a systems biology approach to unravel regulatory interactions from genes to metabolism to environment leading to a better understanding of metabolic diseases and enabling novel diagnostic approaches and personalized intervention strategies.

Dominik studied Biology at the University of Regensburg. In 2007, he joined Helmholtz Munich to finish his PhD following a Postdoc position in the group of Fabian Theis at the Institute for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (IBIS) and in 2013 the Institute for Diabtes and Obesity (IDO). From 2015 on he is heading the group Computational Discovery Research (CDR) with the IDO and the Helmholtz Ciabtes Center (HDC).
