Summary
Markus List is an assistant professor and group leader at Technische Universität München with 14 years of experience bridging computational biology, systems medicine, and bioinformatics. He advanced from software development and LIMS projects into a research career that produced tools and analyses for functional genomics, high-throughput screening and cancer systems biology during a PhD and subsequent postdoc. As Akademischer Rat and REPO4EU task leader he blends academic leadership with project coordination across translational research initiatives. His background spans practical software engineering and deep domain expertise, enabling reproducible computational pipelines that inform clinical and systems-level questions. Based in Freising, Bavaria, he combines rigour from a Tübingen and Auckland bioinformatics education with hands-on tool development experience from industry and academia. An ORCID-linked researcher, he is notable for pushing computational biology toward actionable systems medicine rather than purely descriptive genomics.
