Employment:
Researcher
Personal:
My name is Nico and I am a researcher at the chair of Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Lenhof. I am interested in the development of new algorithms and databases to aid biology research in the field of epigenetic transcription regulation. Furthermore, I apply existing knowledge and methods with the goal to generate knowledge about human diseases like cancer.
