Biography
Florian is an expert in cardiovascular disease and functional genomics, currently working as a Postdoc in the group of Denis Schapiro at the Institute for Computational Biomedicine in Heidelberg. He acquired his PhD from the University of Muenster working together with the group of Dr. Gregor Aldenfinger at the CHU Ste Justine research center in Montreal, working on congenital heart disease. Following his PhD, Florian joined the lab of Guillaume Lettre at the Montreal Heart Institute, where he focused on the genetic architecture of complex cardiovascular diseases using functional genomics tools, such as pooled CRISPR screens. In his talk, Florian will share insights on how to utilize different CRISPR perturbations to investigate genetic loci associated with complex cardiovascular phenotypes.
