Malte Lücken

Malte Lücken's work experience starts in 2012 when they were a DPhil student at the University of Oxford, focusing on protein-protein interaction networks in complex diseases. From 2016 to 2017, they worked as a postdoctoral research scientist at UCB, developing software for gene expression data interpretation and single-cell RNA-seq analysis. In 2018, they joined HelmholtzZentrum München as a postdoctoral researcher, where they focused on developing tools for single-cell RNA-seq data analysis and collaborating on lung, neuroscience, diabetes, and breast cancer research. In 2020, they became a core team member of Open Problems in Single-Cell Analysis. In 2022, they briefly worked as a computational biologist at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative before joining the Human Cell Atlas as the HCA integration team lead. Also in 2022, they started working at Helmholtz Munich as a principal investigator, leading a computational cellular health group focused on building single-cell reference atlases and translating insights to clinical applications.

Malte Lücken received their DPhil in Systems Approaches to Biomedical Sciences from the University of Oxford in 2016. Prior to that, they completed their BSc MPhys in Physics at the University of Warwick from 2007 to 2012. Malte also participated in a short term exchange program at The University of Tokyo in 2010-2011.
