Life

Brigitte Vollmar graduated from Bernhard-Strigel-Gymnasium in Memmingen in 1981 . Then she studied chemistry at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1981/82. She then moved to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , where she studied human medicine from 1982 to 1988. From 1988 to 1990 she was an intern at the Surgical Clinic and Polyclinic, Inner City Clinic, and received her license to practice medicine in 1990 . In the same year she did a research stay at the Department of Anesthesiology, College of Medicine at the University of Arizona . She then received a scholarship from the Dr. Johannes Heidenhain Foundation , in 1991 the doctorate to Dr. med. at the Institute for Surgical Research at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.

Professional career

From 1991 to 1994 she was a research assistant at the same institute. In 1994 she moved to the Saarland University , where she worked at the Institute for Clinical Experimental Surgery. In 1996 she completed her habilitation and became a senior assistant at this institute. She turned down a call for a C3 professorship at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn that she had received that year. From 1996 to 2002 she was deputy director and associate professor at the Institute for Clinical Experimental Surgery at Saarland University.

After declining another appointment at the University of Heidelberg , she took up the offer from the University of Rostock and became director of the Rudolf Zenker Institute for Experimental Surgery there in 2002.
