Matthias Erwin Futschik is a leading bioinformatician and systems biologists with over 20 years of international research experience. He obtained a PhD in Information Science at University of Otago in Dunedin (New Zealand) and has worked in senior positions for over 15 years in the academic and entrepreneurial sector in New Zealand, Germany, Portugal and UK. Currently, he works as Principal investigator at the Centre for Innovative Biomedicine and Biotechnology of the University of Coimbra (Portugal). and serves as Honorary Professor at the University of Plymouth (UK). Matthias has a strong interest in bioinformatics methods and resource development as well as in translational and interdisciplinary research. To date, he authored over 75 papers in international peer review journals (including Nature, Science, Lancet Infectious Diseases, Genome Biology, Genome Research, Nucleic Acids Research and Bioinformatics) and 6 book chapters that received over 5400/2800 citations resulting in an h-factor of 36/29 (Google Scholar/Scopus in Feb 24). He co-holds 2 patents, developed 4 popular open-source R/Bioconductor software packages (>1000 citations) and led the implementation of 9 publicly accessible databases and webservers. Moreover, he was PI in 6 projects and successfully secured more than 1.3 M Euro in external funding. Finally, Matthias is a very passionate teacher and instructor in bioinformatics and computational biology. He has taught at various universities and guided 7 Post-doctoral researchers, 6 PhD theses, 13 Masters & Bachelor dissertations and 8 Research assistants.
