معرفی
Thomas Wiehe is a Professor for Bioinformatics and Population Genetics at the University of Cologne, where he has been a faculty member since 2003. He leads the Wiehe Research Group, focusing on evolutionary genomics and theoretical population genetics.
His research centers on the evolution of multi-copy gene families, including gene duplication, copy number variation, and selective sweeps. Using mathematical modeling and bioinformatics, he investigates genomic dynamics in structured populations, with applications in zebrafish, beetles, plants, and nematodes.
His recent publications span theoretical models of coalescent processes, genome architecture, and adaptation, reflecting a strong trend in integrating mathematical theory with empirical genomics. Key themes include unequal recombination, mutation accumulation, and the interplay between demography and selection.
He has authored numerous high-impact papers in journals such as eLife, Genetics, PLoS Computational Biology, and Theoretical Population Biology.
Thomas Wiehe has supervised multiple researchers and students through his research group, contributing to training in computational biology and evolutionary genomics. His work is supported by ongoing research projects and collaborations across Europe.
He leads a research lab focused on bioinformatics and population genetics, utilizing simulations and data analysis to explore genome evolution. The group investigates both animal and plant systems, emphasizing conserved evolutionary mechanisms.
