Malte Rühlemann

Malte Rühlemann is a researcher at the Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology (IKMB) at Kiel University, focusing on the genomics and functional analysis of host-microbiome systems. He is affiliated with the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) and contributes to interdisciplinary research on synthetic bacterial communities and their role in modulating IBD-associated microbiomes.

His research spans host-microbiome interactions, synthetic ecology, and molecular mechanisms of microbiota in disease. Projects include the design of synthetic bacterial communities to dissect ecological principles and therapeutic potential in inflammatory bowel disease.

He participates in collaborative networks involving institutions like the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, Research Center Borstel, and Universität zu Lübeck, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
