At ScienceConsult, our work is defined by deep biological expertise paired with rigorous bioinformatics methodology—setting us apart from other bioinformatics companies. We believe data-driven results are only valuable when they are interpretable, reproducible, and biologically meaningful, enabling insights that extend beyond analysis and can be confidently trusted by researchers and decision-makers.
From weekends with data to a life in bioinformatics
Beginnings as a biotechnologist
Thomas did not begin his career in bioinformatics. He was trained in food and biotechnology, building a strong foundation in applied science and molecular biology. This background remains central to his work today, allowing him to communicate fluently with experimental scientists and to connect computational analysis directly to biological questions.
Learning to automate insight
During a proteomics project focused on cellular characterization, Thomas faced the challenge of interpreting large, unstructured protein datasets. Manual inspection of protein lists proved inefficient and error-prone. The realization that these workflows could—and should—be automated marked his entry into bioinformatics, where algorithmic methods transformed data overload into biological insight.
A career in bioinformatics
This transition led to a sustained academic and professional career. Thomas has contributed to peer-reviewed publications, participated in bioinformatics initiatives, and taught at three universities. To make this expertise accessible beyond academia, he founded ScienceConsult DI Thomas Mohr KG, offering bioinformatics solutions grounded in both experimental understanding and rigorous data analysis.
Our team
Dr. Thomas Mohr
Bioinformatician and consultant with a background in food and biotechnology and extensive experience in transcriptomics, systems biology, and statistical modeling. His work focuses on bridging experimental life-science research with reproducible, data-driven analysis. Thomas has co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, teaches at several universities, participates in bioinformatics initiatives, and supports academic and industrial partners through ScienceConsult.
Elisabeth Mohr, MA, BSc
Assistant at ScienceConsult, trained in biology at the University of Vienna, with an interdisciplinary academic background spanning cultural and film studies. Elisabeth combines biological expertise with perspectives from visual anthropology, feminist and postcolonial theory, and critical approaches to knowledge production, supporting scientific projects through careful analysis, contextualization, and communication of complex content.
We believe effective bioinformatics begins with understanding the science.
Each project starts with an in-depth exchange to clarify the client’s needs, hypotheses, and data, and may include complementary analyses for deeper interpretation.
Our lean structure allows projects to evolve as new findings emerge. Working with a small core team and a network of trusted experts ensures both flexibility and access to specialized expertise.
Grounded in biological training and research experience, we engage at a conceptual level and often contribute additional insights beyond the original scope.
