Jochen Kruppa-Scheetz

Prof. Dr. Jochen Kruppa-Scheetz is a Professor for Bio Data Science at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture of Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences since 2022. His expertise spans biostatistics, bioinformatics, and data science applications in agricultural and biological contexts.

Dr. Kruppa-Scheetz completed his habilitation in 2024 at FU Berlin with the topic "Robust analysis of high-dimensional omics data using computer simulation and graphical visualization" in the field of Bioinformatics. He previously served as deputy institute director at the Institute for Biometry and Clinical Epidemiology at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin until 2021, where he also led the Statistical Bioinformatics research group from 2018 to 2021.

His research interests focus on developing new statistical methods for direct application, including machine learning for classification, parametric models, analysis of high-throughput data (microarray, NGS, and expression data), and metagenomics and genome analysis. He also has a strong interest in the didactics of statistical teaching, having led the "Teaching and Didactics in Biometry" working group within the German region of the International Biometric Society from 2018 to 2020.

Dr. Kruppa-Scheetz is actively involved in teaching across multiple programs, offering courses in mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, and statistical bioinformatics at both bachelor's and master's levels. He has developed extensive teaching materials available through his GitHub repository and YouTube channel, including an Open Book on Bio Data Science.

As a freelance lecturer, he provides statistical training for PhD students and postdocs at institutions including the Leibniz Center Borstel and pharmaceutical companies.
