Hi,
my name is Konrad Förstner - I hold a joint professorship
for Data and Information Literacy
at ZB MED - Information
Center for Life Sciences
and TH
Köln. The research
of my group covers a broad spectrum of applications
of data
science, bioinformatics
and systems
biology methods in the life sciences. This includes
the integration and interpretation of large data sets -
mainly generated
using high-throughput
sequencing technologies but also biomedical text
corpora - with the aim to translate them into novel
biological and medical insights. Additionally, we run
projects that use and extend the
knowledge
commons by making research outcomes
more open
and FAIR.
Since more than a decade I am
advocating open
science with all its facetes (data, publications,
source code of research software, educational resources,
publication metrics etc.) and am active in several
communites promoting and implementing this. Furthermore, I
try to empower others - researcher and people in
information centric roles - by teaching digitial literacy
and skills to work more efficiently and effectively with
data, information and knowledge.
