Hi! I'm @apeltzer (Alex Peltzer)👋
I'm a bioinformatician from Germany currently working as a senior principal scientist in Experimental Medicine TA Oncology at Boehringer Ingelheim and thus currently work mostly in Translational Clinical Oncology projects these days.
I co-founded the nf-core community with which I'm still heavily involved as well as am still interested in all things around Nextflow. Previously, I worked on ancient DNA tools during my PhD, for which I have built and contributed to tools such as EAGER.
I am passionate about open science and developing best-practices for data analysis, tooling for reproducible research to enable scientists to deliver impactful work in a reproducible and well maintainable manner. This is also reflected in ongoing initiatives such as the regulatory special interest group formed within the nf-core community to foster harmonized standards for doing pipeline analysis work across both academia and industry using Nextflow and nf-core guidelines.
