Peter Pascal Giehr

Dr. Peter Pascal Giehr is a Researcher at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich's Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Department of Chemistry. He leads Project A08 within SFB 1309 (Collaborative Research Center 1309) focused on the molecular mechanisms of 5-methylcytosine oxidation.

His research investigates how Tet enzymes oxidize 5mC to form 5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC, examining their roles in DNA demethylation and gene regulation. Using third-generation sequencing, he conducts multiomic analyses of cytosine modifications and chromatin accessibility at single-molecule resolution.

Dr. Giehr's work has significant implications for understanding epigenetic regulation in mammalian genomes. His research methodology combines advanced sequencing techniques with comprehensive analysis of modification co-occurrence patterns across the genome.

He is affiliated with the International Research Training Group (ICEM) within SFB 1309 and maintains research collaboration with Professor Thomas Carell's group.
