Brief Bio
Jens Allmer is Full Professor for Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics at the University of Applied Sciences, HRW, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. He previously held positions of Cluster Leader (Wageningen University and Research, Wageningen, Netherlands, 2017-2018), Assistant and Associate Professor (Izmir Institute of Technology, Izmir, Turkey, 2008-2016). Prof. Allmer received his PhD (2006) in Biology with great honor from the University of Münster where he also obtained his MSc. In 2010 he was selected the outstanding young scientist for bioinformatics from the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA). Prof. Allmer published more than 80 manuscripts in peer reviewed journals with a cumulative impact factor above 130. He also received more than 650,000 Euros in funding.
Prof. Allmer’s research interests have covered most OMICS areas. Currently, his main focus is on microRNA regulation and the use of microRNAs in pathogen-host communication. For this, he applies and extends machine learning paradigms to make them more applicable to problems in bioinformatics.

SCOPE
MicroRNAs regulate protein abundance on the post-transcriptional level. For experimental discovery they need to be co-expressed with their target mRNA and their effect needs to be measured on the protein level. These complications, led to a rise in interest in computational prediction of miRNAs. Computational miRNomics covers all areas ranging from pri- and pre-miRNA detection to the prediction of protein abundance and regulatory networks as well as their intersection with gene regulatory ones. The workshop aims to assemble experts in the field to establish a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in computational miRNomics.
