Career

Boris Guennewig studied chemistry at the University of Muenster. He obtained his Diplom in chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine with Dietmar Vestweber and his PhD in Nucleic Acid Research & Medicinal Chemistry with Harry Towbin (inventor of the Western Blot) and Jonathan Hall at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences at ETH Zurich, Switzerland[3]. Subsequently he was recruited by John Mattick to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Darlinghurst.

He founded Pacific Analytics PTY LTD[4] in early 2017, and the bioinformatics production and pipelines were acquired by GenieUs Genomics[5] in 2020.

In April 2017 he became Head of the Bioinformatics & Statistics Research Group at the Brain and Mind Centre of the University of Sydney, Australia[1].

In September 2019 he co-founded the data science company smrtr pty ltd [2].

He served as a Scientific board advisor to non-for profit “Iggy Get Out”[6], is a founding member of the International Cerebral Palsy Consortium[7] and a technical advisor to The Australian Genomics Health Alliance[8].

He has been an invited speaker in the statistics[9] and data science[10] community as well as in the USA[11], China[12] and Brazil[13]. He co-authored a software in the statistical analysis language R "blkbox - Data Exploration with Multiple Machine Learning Algorithms", which has been downloaded > 10.000 times[14][15]. He publishes in mainstream media [16] as well as in peer reviewed scientific journals [17].
