Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBjoern Peters is a quantitative scientist and professor with over 10 years of experience bridging theoretical physics and immunology, currently based at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology. Trained with a PhD in Theoretical Biophysics from Humboldt University Berlin and a Diploma in Physics from the University of Hamburg, he has translated methods from quantum optics into computational and conceptual tools for adaptive immunity. He has represented the OBO Foundry in the OBI consortium, reflecting a commitment to standards, shared vocabularies, and reproducible, open science in biology. Having spent two decades in California, he combines deep theoretical rigor with practical leadership in academic research and community-driven informatics. An uncommon thread in his work is the focus on cultivating a physics-style culture of sharing results and languages across biological disciplines.
