Doctor Joerg Menche

Jörg Menche began his training as a theoretical physicist and received his PhD from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. He then moved into the field of Network Biology as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Albert-László Barabási (Northeastern University, Boston, USA). Here he collaborated closely with Joseph Loscalzo (Harvard Medical School) and Marc Vidal (Center for Cancer Systems Biology at Dana Farber Cancer Institute) to layout the theoretical framework for interactome approaches to studying human disease. In 2015, he moved to Vienna to start his own research group at CeMM, supported by a career development grant from the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF). Since then, he has assembled a truly interdisciplinary group composed of 10 members with backgrounds ranging from biology and bioinformatics, to physics, mathematics, and art. Jörg Menche has published as first or shared first author in Science, Nature Communications, Human Molecular Genetics, among
