Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Pippel is a bioinformatician with nine years of experience building and applying computational methods for challenging genomics problems, currently based at NBIS in Uppsala. He spent six years at MPI-CBG and prior roles at HITS and Martin Luther University where he developed MARVEL, a de‑novo assembler for noisy long reads and complex, repeat‑rich genomes, demonstrating deep expertise in long‑read assembly without read correction. His background blends bioinformatics, computer science and pharmacy from Martin Luther University and includes applied work in computational chemistry and molecular docking. Martin is comfortable managing terabyte‑scale data pipelines and designing algorithms that tolerate high error rates and extreme nucleotide biases. He maintains an academic profile with publications indexed on Google Scholar, reflecting a strong research‑to‑software track record. Colleagues would note his uncommon mix of theoretical algorithm development and hands‑on engineering for production bioinformatics infrastructure.
