Peter M. Schneider

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Matthias Schneider (born May 31, 1955 in Berlin ) is a German forensic molecular geneticist and biologist . He is a professor at the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the University of Cologne , where he heads the forensic molecular genetics department.

Career

Peter Schneider studied biology at the University of Bonn until 1983 . After a research stay from 1984 to 1986 at the Children's Hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston , he received his doctorate in 1987. rer. nat. at the University of Mainz . At the Mainz Institute for Forensic Medicine, he initially worked for Christian Rittner as a research assistant and, after completing his habilitation in immunology in 1996, as a private lecturer and associate professor . In 2004 he was appointed university professor (C3) at the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Cologne.

Act

Schneider has devoted his scientific interest to the further development of modern DNA-analytical methods in parentage assessment and forensic genetics in biological crime scene traces. He has led several international EU-funded research projects as coordinator, the the fifth Research Framework Program funded project High Throughput Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms for the Identification of Persons - SNPforID 2002-2005 funded by the 7th Framework Program and European Forensic Genetics Network of Excellence - EUROFORGEN-NoE from 2012–2016. Schneider is currently leading a sub-project in the VISible Attributes Through GEnomics - VISAGE consortium, which is funded by the EU through Horizon 2020 and is developing new genetic analysis methods for predicting external body features, biogeographical origin and age using massive parallel sequencing.

Since 2016, Schneider has dealt intensively with scientific and legal issues in connection with the possible introduction of DNA phenotyping in Germany. He was very actively involved in the professional and public discussion.

In 2006, Peter M. Schneider received the Konrad Handel Foundation Prize for his outstanding academic achievements and his services in the field of justice.
