The fourth man on board

Dr. Juan M. Vaquerizas boosts computational biology as the fourth Max Planck Research Group leader at the Max Planck Institute in Münster

Dr. Juan M. Vaquerizas took up his employment as the leader of the Max Planck Research Group „Regulatory Genomics“ at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster a few weeks ago. He occupies the fourth and final position that is financed in equal parts by the Max Planck Society and the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Vaquerizas’ research interest is computational biology: his team will analyze large amounts of data with respect to gene regulation. The research group is funded for 5 years and will consist of 6 to 8 people by the end of 2013.
