I'm Malte. I live in Hannover, where I try to advance medicine through code.

Since my early teenage years, I've been fascinated by the way the human body and computers present complex systems that can be manipulated through small interventions to produce large-scale changes.

Working on my computer in the late hours after school, I taught myself how to code and built my first website at 13. I went on to create a social network for my classmates, a lead generation website for a local music school and different business card-style websites.

After finishing high-school best in class, I moved to Hamburg to study medicine. After a few years, my studies took me to Alicante, Spain, where I built a web-based platform for medical students to prepare for their exams and participated in a contest by the universitie's startup accelerator and won an accessory price. Though the platform never took off, it taught me a lot about building products, modern web development and working with a team.

Back in Hamburg, I quickly teamed up with a new business partner to help prospective medical students prepare for the entrance exam needed to study in Hamburg and other German cities. We built hamnatvorbereitung.de, a platform that has helped thousands of students get into medical school and has firmly established itself as the go-to resource for studying for the exam.

I quickly realized that the future of medicine lies in the intersection of biology and technology. I thus didn't hesitate long, when I discovered a medical doctorate position shared between the III. Medical Department and the Institue of Medical Systems Biology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. I was able to combine my medical knowledge with my passion for coding and started working on a project that aimed as mapping the spatial proteome of the kidney across different diseases using machine learning.

This research has lead me to Aarhus University, where I'm currently working as a postdoc and have extended my research to further organs and diseases as well as transcriptomic analyses. I've published several papers and have been invited to present my work at international conferences.

On the medical education side, in 2023 I co-founded medprofs GmbH together with my business partner. Together, we have co-authored multiple books for prospective medical students and with tmsvorbereitung.de, we have built a platform that helps students prepare for their exams.
