I am a Junior Group Leader at the Institute for Virology in Freiburg. We focus on viral genomics and intra-host evolution of diverse pathogens (Hepatitis E virus, SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, MPXV and HSV-1). I started bioinformatics at the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and have been in love with big data, genomics, metagenomics, coding and pyhlogenetics ever since. I am a super weird mixture of wet-lab molecular virologist, bioinformatician, data scientist, NGS specialist, epidemiologist, clinical scientist and nerd.
I am working on software for viral genomics. Available through pip and conda.
