Personal profile

Biography

Dr. Timo Lassmann, B.Sc. Biotechnology (1999), MSc Bioinformatics (2001), PhD functional genomics (2006), Karolinska Institute Sweden, has a major interest in computational biology and genomics. During his PhD he published a series of innovative algorithms to analyze biological sequences. In 2006 he moved to RIKEN, Japan, where he transitioned into leadership roles in the international Functional ANnotation of The Mammalian Genome project. Between 2009 - 2012 he was a lead analyst in the ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project. In 2014, he moved to Australia to lead the Precision Health program at the Telethon Kids Institute. His research focuses on the development of novel computational methods to analyze large-scale omics datasets, with a particular focus on functional genomics. His work has been instrumental in decoding the dynamics of genome activity, elucidating which sequences are activated across different contexts. These insights are driving breakthroughs in understanding the molecular causes of diseases and are instrumental in predicting disease progression and treatment outcomes.
