Academic Career and Research Areas

Training as medical doctor at the Universität Freiburg was followed by postdoctorate at the University of California in San Francisco and in Berkeley where I pursued my interests reaching from biology of aging (Schliwa lab) to philosophy (seminars of Feyerabend, Llyod, and Dreyfus). Thereafter, I worked as clinician at different places, including Charité, Berlin, Universität Zürich, and Technische Universität München, leading to board certifications in Pediatrics and Medical Genetics. Publications addressed various topics, from more fundamental analyses in philosophy (e.g., 10.1007/978-3-031-25910-4_153) and physics (10.1103/PhysRevE.51.2651) to applied genetics, epigenetics, and metabolics (orcid.org/0000-0001-7447-2252). Currently, I am affiliated (apl) professor at Technische Universität München and PI of neurogenetic systems analysis at the ING of Helmholtz Munich with research foci comprising the genetics of the form of brain structures and their aging as well as the genetics and epigenetics of movement disorders.
