I'm Building
A Biomedical search engine and ontology builder
Bio
Markus is a young technical builder currently based in London, where he received a grant from Emergent Ventures to develop a biomedical search engine and ontology builder that lets researchers ask complex, targeted questions across large scientific datasets. Previously, he worked at Oxford Nanopore and experimented with bioinformatic automation, machine learning interpretability, and no-code tools. He has a background that mixes fine art and philosophy with hands-on engineering in biomedical technology and computational biology.
