Welcome to the Professorship of Bioinformatics at TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability
The GrimmLab unites bioinformatics and machine learning to advance data-driven innovation in the bioeconomy. We develop cutting-edge AI and statistical methods to understand how complex biological systems function and how their biochemical properties can be modelled, analysed, and optimised for sustainable applications.
Our research focuses on identifying genotype–phenotype relationships and extracting meaningful phenotypic traits from imaging and omics data, driving progress in genetics, precision medicine, and sustainable agriculture.
An emerging focus of the lab is the development of AI systems capable of learning and reasoning about biology and chemistry without prior domain knowledge, enabling autonomous scientific discovery and supporting the transition to a circular, sustainable bioeconomy.
