Research interests

In general, this is any computational tool that supports biological research. The work I personally liked most is

• GPCR coupling prediction (see 2001 ISMB paper)
• Intergenomics on disease-associated chromosomal loci (see 2004 paper)
• many more on agents and transmembrane proteins.

Current activities involve the computer aided interpretation of what we get from genome-wide SNP studies. And it was these thoughts that guided me into the field of grid computing. Something that albeit having published on is less of a science but more of a promotional nature is my involvement with the Debian Linux distribution. This is bunch of enthusiastic people who mutually help each other (and en passent the world) in maintaining their research infrastructure. This comprises both general IT and bioinformatics applications.

Active Projects

• EU project "KnowARC" on grid computing. A single look on the NorduGrid monitor says more than 1000 words. I am investigating how grid technologies can become more applicable for bioinformatics:
• Dynamic Runtime Environments (link)
• Embedding grid jobs in bioinformatics workflow suite Taverna (link)
• Expression QTL analysis in a murine model of Multiple Sclerosis (link)
  

Others

• Apical-basolateral distribution of epithelial membrane proteins
• sugaR - R package for plotting a diabetes diary (link)

Rewards

For my first degree in the early nineties of the last century I was joining some fun competitions that I like to think back about:

• National Programming Contest, U Texas, Austin,TX,USA
• 1995 Shocc - Shortest C Contest, Kaiserslautern, Germany

and I had helped with the 1994 MICE (Most Intelligent Corn Eater) competition in Hildesheim, Germany. Since then I contributed to two projects that were rewarded

• 2005 - Intergenomics on QTL (German QUECKENSTEDT Award for research in multiple sclerosis)
• 2006 - prediction of apical-basolateral sorting in kidney epithelia (Jugend forscht)
