Academic Career and Research Areas

Andreas is a microbiologist by training and obtained a PhD at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry/Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich. After completing his PhD, Andreas joined the department of Prof. Wolfgang Baumeister at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry. There, he sequenced the complete genome of the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophium. In the following two years, he worked a senior scientist at the biotech company Epidaurus GmbH. In 2001, Andreas joined Helmholtz Munich as group leader at the institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. He initiated the generation of databases such as CORUM which is the gold standard for protein complex analysis. A second focus of his work are disease-related interaction networks that are used for the interpretation of experimental data. In 2019, his group moved to the Institute of Experimental Genetics. Recently, he and his group were involved in the analysis of 705 new genes from the IMPC which were found to be associated with cardiac dysfunction.
