Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Halbritter is a Principal Investigator at the St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute in Vienna, combining 11 years of interdisciplinary experience in high-throughput genomics, stem cell models, and computational modelling to probe the interface of development and cancer. Trained as a PhD in Biomathematics/Bioinformatics from the University of Edinburgh, he has a strong track record of large-scale transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis from postdoctoral work at CeMM and Edinburgh through to leading his own lab. He teaches externally at the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna, bridging cutting-edge research with hands-on training in computational biology. Florian’s work is notable for integrating experimental stem cell systems with scalable bioinformatics and meta-analysis, enabling mechanistic insights that span molecules to models. He maintains an active scholarly presence (Google Scholar, ORCiD) and emphasizes reproducible, high-throughput approaches that translate developmental biology concepts into cancer research applications.
