Senior🎓
Top SchoolThies Gehrmann is a postdoctoral researcher and bioinformatics specialist with 13 years of experience bridging computational biology and life‑science research. Currently based at the University of Antwerp after a research stint at Leiden University Medical Center, he focuses on gene regulation and the molecular effects of medication and lifestyle on healthy ageing. His background combines a PhD in Bioinformatics from Delft with early computer science training from Heriot‑Watt and Edinburgh Napier, giving him strong computational foundations alongside wet‑lab–oriented genomics expertise. Thies has a track record of teaching and supervising at bachelor and master levels, and his doctoral work explored alternative splicing and nucleus‑specific expression in fungal development. He is comfortable translating complex datasets into biologically meaningful insights and collaborating across institutes, including ties with the Max Planck Institute for Aging Research. Colleagues describe him as a methodical researcher who pairs rigorous computational methods with an eye for translational impact.
