Peter Bogner (born 1964 in Germany[1]) is a German-American former media executive who is the founder and current president of GISAID, a platform for rapid sharing of genomic sequences of emerging viruses, such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2.
Media executive
Bogner emigrated from Germany to the United States in the early 1980s[1] working in the TV industry as a senior studio executive at Time Warner[2] where he co-founded the German television channel VIVA. He has also started his own strategic consultancy firm. He has been a frequent participant at the World Economic Forum.
Founding and leading GISAID
Despite having no prior ties to the influenza research community, Bogner was the key person driving the creation of GISAID, a database created to encourage sharing of avian influenza genome data from countries reluctant to share sequence in open databases. In 2006, he co-wrote a statement[3] and collected signatures from key figures including prominent figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Nobel laureates to support the initiative.[1]. He initially financed the endeavor using his own funds.[4]
In 2020, the 15th International Conference on Genomics in Wuhan, China, awarded Bogner with the "2020 Research Leader of the Year" award. The conference's organizers included the sequencing company BGI, the China Biodiversity Conservation, and Green Development Foundation, Peking University's Medical Department and Wuhan University.[5]
In 2021, Bogner was accused by many scientists to be responsible for a "secretive, controlling organizational culture" at GISAID, according to a Science article.[6]
Life
Peter Bogner's interests include sailing and skiing. He has published a skiing instruction video titled "Peter Bogner's Skiing Techniques".[7] In 2003, he organized the Speed world challenge sailing.[8]
