David Helmut Meyer obtained his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Bioinformatics from the Free University of Berlin. After his research assistant work at the RIKEN in Japan, collaborating with Dr. Ichiro Hiratani, he pursued a PhD at the CECAD in Cologne with the Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research under the mentorship of Prof. Björn Schumacher. Starting in 2023, he assumed the role of the bioinformatician leading the central data integration project for the newly funded research unit FOR5504, investigating physiological causes and consequences of genome instability. His research focuses on understanding aging trajectories and the impact of DNA damage, with a particular emphasis on the nematode C. elegans and the utilization of machine learning techniques.
