Biography
Dr. Dimmeler is Professor of Experimental Medicine and Head of the Section of the Institute for Cardiovascular Regeneration at the University of Frankfurt (Germany) since 2001. Dr. Dimmeler has published more than 150 papers with a global impact factor of higher than 900. She received several of the most prestigious awards including the Award of the German Heart Foundation in 1998, the Frankel-Award of the German Cardiac Society in 2000, the prestigious Alfried Krupp Award 2002 (500.000 €), the Leibniz Award 2005 (1.5 Mio €), the FEBS award 2006 and most recently together with Prof. Zeiher and Prof. Penninger the E.

She is on the editorial board of The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Circulation, Circulation Research and others. She is co-founder of the European Network of Excellence “Vascular Genomic Network (EVGN)” supported by the European Community and co-director of the Transatlantic Network of Cardiac Regeneration supported by the Leducq Foundation. Her research is predominantly focused on endothelial cell biology, including signal transduction, apoptosis, and renewal by circulating endothelial progenitor cells in health and disease. She identified novel signaling pathways mediating the synthesis and release of the endothelial protective factors nitric oxide (NO). Together with Dr. Zeiher, she has been translating science from bench to bedside culminating in current clinical trials of human progenitor cells for cardiovascular repair.
