Peter Arndt

Peter Arndt is a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, Germany, where he has led the Evolutionary Genomics Group since 2003. His work integrates computational biology, genomics, and evolutionary modeling to study nucleotide substitution patterns, isochore evolution, and the role of phenotypic mutations in molecular evolution.

His research spans topics such as CpG-effect, biased gene conversion, segmental duplications, and horizontal gene transfer. He collaborates with institutions like the BIH/Charité, Broad Institute, and Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology to explore cancer genomics and immune repertoire dynamics.

Recent publications focus on genomic landscape analysis in multiple myeloma, modeling bacterial genome mosaicism, and gene expression dynamics during cell state transitions. These studies highlight his interdisciplinary approach combining mathematical models, phylogenetic analysis, and high-throughput sequencing.
