Prof. Dr. Markus List
Academic Career and Research Areas
Prof. List's (*1984) field of research is Data Science in Systems Biology. This interdisciplinary bridge science connects biology, medicine and (bio)informatics with the increasingly important field of data science. The aim of systems biology is to understand gene regulatory mechanisms in the cellular system across different molecular levels (especially the genome, transcriptome and epigenome). The group uses modern machine learning and data integration approaches to harness and interpret these data.
Prof. List studied bioinformatics at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, including a DAAD-funded stay at the University of Auckland (New Zealand). He completed his doctorate at the University of Southern Denmark in the field of cancer research, followed by a postdoc in the field of epigenetics at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. From 2018, Prof. List conducted research with his Big Data in Biomedicine group at the School of Life Sciences at TUM. 2023 Prof. List was appointed to the professorship for Data Science in Systems Biology.
