Martin Vingron

Prof. Martin Vingron is a Scientific Member and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics. He holds an adjunct professorship at Freie Universität Berlin. His research focuses on computational molecular biology, integrating algorithmic and statistical methods to study gene regulation, epigenetics, and functional genomics.

Education: Studied mathematics in Vienna, PhD (1991, Heidelberg University) under EMBL supervision. Postdocs at UCLA and Bonn University.

Research: Current work emphasizes the interplay between epigenetic modifications and gene regulation. Develops methods for analyzing genomic sequences and functional genomics data. Leads the Vingron Lab, collaborating on transcriptional regulation and epigenetic studies.

Awards: Max Planck Research Prize (2004), Leopoldina Membership, ISCB Fellowship.

Labs/Teams: Heads the Transcriptional Regulation Group at MPIMG, focusing on computational methods for gene regulation analysis and data integration.
