“Together with my research group, I develop AI solutions for personalized network based precision medicine.”
Research focus
Matthias Heinig conducts research in the field of computational biology. His aim is the development and application of computational and statistical tools for the identification of molecular regulatory networks underlying common diseases and the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms controlling these networks from population level DNA, multi-omics and single cell data sets. A special focus is the molecular characterization of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, in particular diabetes and arrhythmias like atrial or ventricular fibrillation.

Professional Background
PhD, Max Delbrück Center for molecular medicine, Berlin
During my PhD I pioneered the use of regulatory networks for the interpretation of GWAS results.
Postdoc, Max Planck Institute of molecular genetics, Berlin
During my postdoc I elucidated the impact of sequence variants on the epigenome.
Junior group leader, Institute of Computational Biology, Helmholtz Munich
As junior group leader I developed methods to identify the molecular networks underlying common diseases from multi-omics and single cell data.
Tenured group leader
As tenured group leader I am working on personalizing regulatory networks as well as to identify disease core genes and on advancing the human heart cell atlas.
