Harald Detering

Harald Detering is a Researcher at the Université de Lausanne (UNIL), affiliated with the Department of Ecology and Evolution within the Faculty of Biology and Medicine. He is a member of both the Robinson-Rechavi group and Robert Waterhouse’s group. His work focuses on computational analysis and bioinformatics resources in biological research.

Education:

• B.Sc. thesis at Freie Universität Berlin: Host-pathogen co-evolution and GWAS on Australian rabbits and RHD virus.
• M.Sc. project at Robert Koch Institute Berlin: Genome/transcriptome assembly of Balamuthia mandrillaris.
• Ph.D. project: Simulating tumor genomic heterogeneity to benchmark bioinformatics tools.

Research Interests: Harald emphasizes computational methods in biology, including genome-wide studies, tumor heterogeneity analysis, and the development of tools like NLP-based article information extraction (A3Cat and CrowdGO). He is passionate about applying bioinformatics to understand biological diversity and disease mechanisms.

Scientific Awards: None explicitly listed.

Advising & Grants: No advisees or grants mentioned, but he collaborates on projects such as the Arthropoda Assembly Assessment Catalog (A3Cat) and the gene ontology tool CrowdGO. His work aligns with the Waterhouse and Robinson-Rechavi labs.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Waterhouse lab (hosting A3Cat and CrowdGO) and the Robinson-Rechavi group.
