Stefan Haas

Dr. Stefan Haas is a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in the Department of Computational Molecular Biology. With a PhD in Bioinformatics from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), he specializes in cancer genomics, neurogenetics, and algorithm development for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis.

Research Focus: His recent work addresses

• driver mutation detection in cancer
• causal mutation identification in X-linked intellectual disability
• NGS data analysis tools

Earlier research explored tissue-specific gene regulation, alternative splicing, and primer design.

Education includes a PhD thesis on automated primer design for high-throughput sequencing and a diploma in biology focused on microglia ATP-receptor electrophysiology.
