Summary
Jochen Kruppa-scheetz is a Professor of Bio Data Science with over a decade of experience bridging statistics, bioinformatics and teaching at institutions including Hochschule Osnabrück and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. He specializes in making data science accessible to students from non-computational backgrounds, combining classroom instruction with educational videos and a practical "cookbook" of statistical recipes. His research and leadership roles have spanned statistical bioinformatics, genomics of infectious diseases, and clinical epidemiology, reflecting a blend of applied research and academic service. Trained in plant biotechnology and holding a Dr. rer. hum. and a Habilitation in bioinformatics, he is equally comfortable with methodological development and hands-on data analysis. Notably, he leverages outreach—YouTube and concise teaching materials—to lower barriers for learners encountering programming and data science for the first time.
