As a strong believer in the transformational power of digitalisation, Max Kaufmann investigates molecular disease mechanisms of multiple sclerosis using a high-throughput, data-driven approach. By treating patients as a physician and observing the current limitations of available medicines first-hand, he draws great motivation to extend beyond these boundaries with his research. Dr. Kaufmann’s scientific work has been funded by the German Cancer Aid (Mildred Scheel Scholarship), the Stifterverband (MS Clinician Scientist Programme) and the German Research Foundation (Walter Benjamin Programme). He is a postdoctoral scientist at the INIMS since 2016 in the group of Prof. Friese and has close ties to the Oxford Centre for Neuroinflammation (Prof. Fugger), where he worked as a visiting postdoc in 2021.
