Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Jahn is a Bioinformatics Scientist with a decade of life-science experience translating high-throughput omics and functional genomics experiments into actionable insights. Currently a senior researcher at the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens, he combines hands-on wet-lab knowledge (NGS library prep, proteomics, microbiology) with robust computational pipelines in R and Python to study bacterial pathogens. His background spans postdoctoral systems biology and metabolic engineering at KTH and a PhD in biotechnology from Leipzig, underpinning a track record of funding success, teaching, and mentoring junior scientists. Known for exploratory data visualization, clustering and ML applications, he also champions open data and research policies—helping projects scale from single-cell proteomics to CRISPR screening analyses. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to bridge experimental design and reproducible bioinformatics workflows, reducing friction between bench and computation.
