Stefan Schuster

Stefan Schuster (born 7 November 1961 in Meissen) is a German biophysicist. He is Professor for Bioinformatics at Friedrich Schiller University, Jena.

Life

Stefan Schuster studied biophysics at the Humboldt University Berlin and wrote his PhD thesis under the supervision of Prof. Reinhart Heinrich at the Department of Theoretical Biophysics at Humboldt University, Berlin (Title: "Theoretical studies on the interrelation between time hierarchy in enzymatic reaction systems and optimization principles"). In 2003 he got a professorship at the department of bioinformatics at the Friedrich Schiller University, Jena.[1]

Stefan Schuster is one of the spokesmen of the Jena Centre for Bioinformatics (JCB). He is involved in a variety of research projects, most of which most of them are research initiatives funded by the German ministry of research and education (BMBF). These include the virtual liver network "", and the gerontosys initiative on systems biology of aging "GerontoSys" ("Gerontoshield" und "JenAge").

Stefan Schuster is currently editor of "BioSystems".

His younger brother is the stage director Robert Schuster.

Research topic Stefan Schuster is involved in include:

Stefan Schuster has significantly contributed to the development of elementary mode analysis.[5][6][7][8][9]
