About

My name is Jens Allmer. I am a Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics Professor at the Hochschule Ruhr West, University of Applied Sciences in Germany. I studied biology at the University of Münster, the University of Jena, and UPenn. My academic backgrounds include biology, computer science, and some medicine. Checkout Pubmed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate for my track record.

However, this blog is separate from my role as a professor, although I may refer my students here for further information.

Sometimes, I obsess over topics within and outside my academic background, and this is precisely what you will find on this blog. I will keep it simple so anyone can follow my relatively unfiltered stream of thoughts. Leave a comment if you have a question or find something puzzling or inaccurate.
