Postgraduate studies and postdoctoral work

From 1985 to 1988 he completed postgraduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, which he obtained with a Ph.D. finished. Here he dealt with the mapping of the sensory cortex using deoxyglucose .

Between 1990 and 1991 he conducted research at the University of Kyoto in Japan together with Masatoshi Takeichi on the importance of cadherins for brain development . He then worked for Uli Schwarz at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen until 1995 . From 1995 to 1997 he headed a working group at the Institute for Biology at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg .

Professorships

In 1997, Redies was appointed C3 professor at the Institute for Anatomy at the Medical Faculty of the University of Essen. In 2000 he received the teaching award of the medical faculty there. Since 2003 he has been a full professor ( C4 / W3 ) and head of the Anatomical Institute I at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. There he deals with neuroanatomical issues in various vertebrates, in particular with the molecular basis of developmental processes in the embryonic brain. Furthermore, Redies dealt with anatomical-historical questions, in particular the processing of the role of anatomy during the time of National Socialism as well as in the field of neuroesthetics with the investigation of physically measurable characteristics of the aesthetic perception of humans. In 2008, Redies rejected a call as professor of anatomy at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf . The reason he named the good cooperation in his Jena faculty and his team.
