Joachim L. Schultze is Director of Systems Medicine at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and Founding Director of the PRECISE Platform for Single Cell Genomics and Epigenomics at the DZNE and the University of Bonn.

Schultze went to Medical School in Tübingen, spent 10 years at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, in Boston before returning to Germany with a Sofia Kovalevskaya Award of the Humboldt Foundation. He is the coordinator of the German DFG-funded NGS competence centers in Germany and speaker of the West German Genome Center at the Bonn site. Prof. Schultze contributes his expertise to several EU consortia. He is an expert in macrophage biology and works at the interphase between neurosciences, immunology, genomics and data sciences. He was the first to apply memory driven computing and Swarm Learning to medical research. His goal is to bring single cell technologies and machine learning approaches to the clinical arena. He is leading several programs applying single cell technologies, memory driven computing and Swarm Learning to patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia as well as other aging-related chronic diseases. He established research collaborations with HPE, Comma Soft, Boehringer Ingelheim, Becton Dickinson and other companies.

Welcome! A reminder for those coming onsite: come early for a cup of coffee or tea and pulla.
