Tim Kacprowski is Professor for Data Science in Biomedicine at the TU Braunschweig and is head of the department of the same name at the Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics at the TU Braunschweig and the Hannover Medical School. After studying bioinformatics at the University of Saarbrücken, he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science and then did his doctorate at the University of Greifswald. This was followed by a post-doctoral stay at the University of Southern Denmark and the leadership of the junior research group "Computational Systems Medicine" at the TU Munich, before he came to the TU Braunschweig.
His research focuses on developing network biology and machine learning methods to understand the basis of diseases and other phenotypes. In addition, he is involved in "immersive analytics", i.e. the combination of data science and virtual reality, as well as the interdisciplinary consideration of AI. Among other things, he is a member of the SYnENZ Commission of the Braunschweig Scientific Society and the Steering Committee of the "AIMe registry for artificial intelligence in biomedical research" and head of the "Statistical Methods in Bioinformatics" working group of the GMDS.
