Alexander Stark (born September 1974) is a biochemist and computational biologist working on the regulation of gene expression in development.
(Rob) Russell at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and obtained his doctorate from the University of Cologne in 2004.
In 2005,[3] Stark became a postdoctoral researcher in the groups of Eric S. Lander and Manolis Kellis at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University and the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in Boston, USA.
In 2008, Stark became group leader at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna and was promoted to senior scientist in 2015.
