Complex data, unclear meaning
When omics experiments generate many signals but it is unclear which findings are biologically relevant or how results should guide next steps.
I'm a Hamburg-based bioinformatician & biomedical scientist with a background in neuroimmunology and experience leading projects and teams across discovery and translational research.
More about me →When teams bring me in
Dedicated bioinformatics expertise
When teams need specialised bioinformatics expertise or leadership to guide multi-omics analysis and interpretation.
Data-driven decision making
When omics results inform target prioritisation, experimental strategy, or further project direction and require careful interpretation.
How I help
Structured scientific collaboration aligned with key research decisions, delivery timelines, and team capacity.
Omics analysis and biological interpretation
Leading the analysis and biological interpretation of complex omics datasets, turning results into clear conclusions and informing next steps.
Multi-omics integration and systems-level insight
Combining datasets across modalities to uncover regulatory relationships and systems-level biological mechanisms.
Clear communication and decision-oriented reporting
Presenting results in a way that enables clear decisions such as target prioritisation, experimental design, or project direction.

"We have worked closely with Malte for more than a year across several projects involving diverse omics modalities and technologies. He has integrated seamlessly into our research teams and has substantially expanded our ability to apply omics approaches to a broad range of biological questions. His combined expertise in biomedicine, particularly neuroimmunology, and bioinformatics is especially valuable for translating complex omics data into biologically meaningful conclusions. His insights consistently help us prioritize the most relevant findings and identify promising directions for further experimental validation."

"Malte performed analyses of RNA-Seq datasets for us in 2025 and it was a pleasure working with him. The project processed quickly from the first discussion of the project, through the implementation, to the final discussion of the results. Malte answered all our questions, explained all concepts, suggested valuable additional analyses and was quickly available (in virtual meetings as well as in emails) to answer any follow-up questions. We will definitely reach out to him in the future, if we are ever in need of a bioanalysis of complex datasets."

"I have been working with Malte for over a year and a half, and the collaboration has become an important part of how my group handles its data. He supports us across flow cytometry and RNA-seq analyses in our work on NK cells in HIV, and turns complex datasets into clear results. Beyond the analyses themselves, Malte also reviews my PhD student's analyses with him, which gives us confidence in the results and supports the student in working independently. Malte has the invalubale advantage of understanding highly complex immunological research questions and how to integrate these into his bioinformatic pipelines, also providing guidance on sample preparation and experimental set-ups. Collaborating with him is straightforward and absolutely enjoyable."

"We contacted Malte to assist us with the analysis of our spectral flow cytometry data. Malte's expertise in bioinformatics and his background in biomedical science were crucial to our project's success. He efficiently analysed our datasets and provided accurate and meaningful insights. He also consistently sought ways to optimize the analysis and met all deadlines. Malte is also an excellent communicator, explaining complex concepts clearly and his patience and collaborative approach made the process smooth and very efficient. I highly recommend Malte for any bioinformatics project you may have."

FAQ
Answers to common questions about scope, process, timelines, and collaboration format.
Who do you typically work with?
I work with teams in biotech, pharma, and academia that need clear choices from complex omics data.
Do you only work on large projects?
No. I also run short engagements focused on one decision, dataset, or programme milestone.
Can you work with existing team pipelines?
Yes. I can analyse within your current stack and improve only what is needed for better outputs.
What pricing options are available?
Depending on the collaboration, I offer fixed-price or hourly rate options. Please contact me for a tailored quote.
Do you support confidential industry projects?
Yes. I frequently support confidential projects and confidentiality expectations and boundaries are agreed at project start.
Do you take ownership or work as part of a team?
Both. I can take ownership of defined analyses or work closely embedded with experimental, computational, or product teams.
How quickly can we start?
Usually within one to two weeks, depending on current commitments and project scope.
