Prof. Dr. Knut Reinert (* 19. Januar 1968 in Saarlouis) is a German (Bio)-Informatician.
Life
editKnut Reinert works as a professor of Algorithmic Bioinformatics at the Freie Universität Berlin. His research is influenced by the training he received as an algorithmicist at the Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrücken, Germany and by his subsequent research as a senior scientist at Celera Genomics in Rockville, MD, USA. From 2002 on he works at the Freie Universität Berlin in Berlin, Germany and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics.
Work
editHis work aims to enable translational research in computationally based life sciences by removing existing (communication) gaps between theoretical algorithmicists, statisticians, programmers, and users in the biomedical field. Of particular interest are:
- Devising mathematical models and algorithms for analyzing large genomic sequences.
- Developing algorithms for analyzing data derived from mass spectrometry experiments, e.g. for detecting differential expression of proteins between normal and diseased samples.
- The implementation of methods that benefit researchers at the bench or in the clinic.
