Carolin Schneider

Friedmund Neumann Prize 2024


Prof. Dr. med. Carolin Schneider, Associate Professor and Head of the Working Group on Prevention and Genetics of Metabolic Liver Diseases at RWTH Aachen, pioneers the use of advanced data science methods to develop more effective personalized treatment strategies. For her outstanding contributions to the prevention and therapy of gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases, she has been awarded the 2024 Friedmund Neumann Prize by the Schering Stiftung.

Prof. Schneider’s innovative research approach brings together experts from computer science, bioinformatics, software engineering, and clinical medicine to gather data from diverse biological sources. The aim is to develop preventive measures tailored to the genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors of patients. A significant focus of her work is on creating personalized dietary and exercise recommendations that are tailored to the individual lifestyle and health conditions of patients.

Carolin Schneider completed her medical degree at RWTH Aachen, supported by the German National Academic Foundation and was honored with the Springorum Medal. She earned her PhD in the genetics of liver diseases at the Medical Clinic III of RWTH Aachen under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Pavel Strnad. A postdoctoral stay at the University of Pennsylvania, funded by the Walter Benjamin Fellowship from the German Research Foundation, deepened her research in genetics and prevention of metabolic diseases.

Prof. Schneider was nominated for the Friedmund Neumann Prize by Prof. Dr. Pavel Strnad, who highlights her diverse qualities both as a scientist and as a leader. In addition to her scientific activities, Prof. Schneider is committed to promoting gender equality in medicine and actively supports the next generation of female scientists.

In her future projects, Prof. Dr. Carolin Schneider plans to expand her research group and conduct extensive studies aimed at integrating personalized prevention approaches into standard medical guidelines. She continues to strive to revolutionize medicine through the innovative use of big data and artificial intelligence, effectively preventing the onset of metabolic diseases.
