Biography
Jens trained in Canada (BSc and MSc at Brock; PhD at McMaster), the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (Heidelberg) and the National Institutes of Health (USA). As an Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine and Hotchkiss Brain Institute, U. Calgary, he was recruited to the new School of Medicine, U. Western Sydney as Foundation Professor & Chair of Molecular Physiology, and established the UWS Molecular Medicine Research Group. He came ‘home’ to Brock in 2016. His quantitative, transdisciplinary research focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms.
