Marcus Oehlrich, PhD
Masters Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI am a Professor of Finance, Accounting, and Taxation at accadis University of Applied Sciences in Bad Homburg, Germany, and I advise on startups, business valuation, and corporate finance. My consulting projects range from small startups in biotechnology and M&A transactions in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors to the preparation of the business plan for the IPO of an international music and movie production group.
During my business studies, I became interested in law and medicine (especially cancer research), which is why I continued my education in these fields (including a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Medicine, a Certificate in Pharmaceutical Law, and an MPH at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health). Subsequently, I have started the M.S. in Biomedical Data Science at the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University School of Medicine.
I also had the privilege of serving as the CEO of the Institute for German, European, and International Medical Law, Health Law, and Bioethics of the Universities of Heidelberg and Mannheim (IMGB) from 2005 to 2011. At accadis University of Applied Sciences, I am Head of the Health Care Management Research Group and responsible for the Master of Arts in International Health Care Management. From 2010 to 2020, I served as the Honorary Consul of the Republic of San Marino in Frankfurt, Germany.
Most of my publications (12 books and more than 70 articles) are related to business topics. However, I also authored three books on cancer "Internetkompass Krebs [Internet compass cancer]" (Springer 2001), "Recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody Trastuzumab for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer with tumors overexpressing the HER2/neu proto-oncogene: A systematic review" (dissertation.de 2003) and "Krebs vorbeugen und bekämpfen [Preventing and combating cancer: All about prevention, early detection, therapy]" (Reader's Digest 2012). The latter was translated into Polish, Czech, Croatian, Slovenian, and Hungarian. -
John Onuigbo
Masters Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2026
BioJohn Onuigbo is an education innovator and social entrepreneur whose work focuses on helping students in vulnerable communities gain the skills and confidence to thrive in the future workforce, regardless of the limitations of their environment. His mission lies at the intersection of education, entrepreneurship, and technology, where he creates transformative learning opportunities that bridge access and possibility for young people across Nigeria and beyond.
John is the founder and chief executive officer of Foris Labs, a virtual science laboratory that enables secondary school students to perform experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology through interactive digital simulations. Built in response to the limited access to functional laboratories in many Nigerian schools, Foris Labs is redefining how science is taught and experienced. The platform has been adopted by leading schools across the country, helping students understand core scientific concepts and teachers deliver more engaging lessons.
Alongside this, John founded Stemnovo NG, an initiative that empowers young people in rural and semi-urban communities with practical skills in coding, robotics, and entrepreneurship. Since its inception, the program has reached over 17,000 students, providing them with the tools to turn curiosity into innovation. Many participants have gone on to win national and international innovation competitions and develop technology-driven solutions to local challenges.
In recognition of his impact, John became the first African to win the Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge in 2021, a global innovation competition that celebrates creative solutions advancing learning, health, and wellbeing. His leadership has also guided students to victories in major programs, including the Diamond Challenge, Beyond School Community Challenge, the World Affairs Challenge, and the UK–Nigeria Debate Championship. He won The Future Awards Africa Prize for Education 2025 and was named a Dalai Lama Fellow for the year 2026.
John served as the youngest member of the South East Development Commission’s Venture Capital Advisory Committee, where he contributed to developing a framework for a $50M VC fund focused on youth-focused innovation and entrepreneurship development across the region. In 2025, he was named a Social Shifters Fellow and appointed to the Social Shifters Global Youth Council, where he works alongside young leaders around the world to promote inclusive and sustainable innovation. -
