Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Battram is a Genomic Data Scientist based in Berlin with nine years of experience applying statistical genetics to understand complex traits like eczema, psoriasis, and cancer. He holds a PhD in molecular epidemiology from the University of Bristol, where his thesis advanced epigenome-wide association study methods by integrating DNA methylation with complex-trait architecture. At Bayer he now translates human genetic analyses into actionable drug target identification and validation, combining domain expertise with production-ready coding skills. Previously he led consortium research (BIOMAP) on the molecular epidemiology of inflammatory skin disease and has a track record of building reproducible analysis pipelines and maintaining research web tools. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable designing statistical methods and shipping software, a balance reflected in his transition from academia to industry. He brings an uncommon blend of hands-on programming, rigorous quantitative training, and practical experience turning genomic signals into therapeutic insight.
