Biography
He completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of Hannover, completed his PhD in Genetics under the wise and generous supervision of Heinz Saedler at the Max Plank Institute for Breeding Research in Cologne. After his PhD, he returned to Rüdiger Cerff's group, which had moved to the University of Braunschweig, where he worked for 10 happy and productive years. In 1999 he was lucky enough to receive offers for professorships from several German universities, Annette (my wife) decided that he should accept the offer from Düsseldorf, where we have been since.
