“We need world-class talent” – Interview with Dr Sven Sewitz, Head of Biodata Innovation at Eagle Genomics

Research and business in the field of biology face the immense challenge of analysing and evaluating huge amounts of data. The company Eagle Genomics has set out to make this complexity manageable with the help of network science and artificial intelligence. In 2021, the company will open its first German location in the Potsdam Science Park. A conversation with Dr Sven Sewitz, Head of Biodata Innovation at Eagle Genomics.

Mr Sewitz, you are Head of Biodata Innovation at Eagle Genomics and want to open a new office in Germany. When will that be?

Actually, we wanted to have opened our office already on January 1st. Due to the Corona crisis, we had to postpone the date by a few months. We now hope that it will be mid-March. I have already been here with my family since autumn 2020 to set up our location in Germany.
