Reinhard SCHNEIDER

Reinhard SCHNEIDER is a Full Professor and Chief Scientist in Bioinformatics at the University of Luxembourg's Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB), leading the Bioinformatics Core facility. He has extensive experience in bioinformatics, computational biology, and data integration, having previously held roles at EMBL (1994-2010) and co-founded LION bioscience AG. His research focuses on systems biology, disease mechanism modeling, and high-performance computing. He has over 90 publications and actively contributes to open science initiatives like FAIR data principles.

Education: PhD in Biology from University of Heidelberg, Germany.

Research Interests:

• Systems Biology
• Computational disease modeling
• Data Science and Machine Learning
• High-Performance Computing
• Knowledge Management
• FAIR data standards

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes disease maps (e.g., ISD Map, AsthmaMap), computational tools (MINERVA, COBREXA), and translational applications in Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and immune-related disorders. Highlights include repurposing drugs, predictive modeling of postoperative delirium, and multi-omics analysis of immunotherapy responses.

Grants/Advising: Leads the Luxembourg Elixir node and collaborates with EU-funded projects like BioCog (predicting cognitive decline post-surgery). Involved in startups and industry partnerships in Germany and Luxembourg.

Labs/Teams: Heads the LCSB Bioinformatics Core, develops tools like Arena3Dweb for 3D network visualization, and manages platforms like BioKC for model curation.
