Life

Dietlein is the son of the Cologne medical professor Markus Dietlein . Already as a student Dietlein began at the age of 12 years students studying computer science and mathematics at the University of Cologne . He received his diploma in mathematics at the same time as his Abitur in May 2009. This makes him the first German who completed a university degree at the same time as his Abitur (at the age of 18). He passed the Abitur at the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium as the best of the state with a grade point average of 0.7 and 837 out of 840 possible points. During his student studies, Dietlein received a scholarship from the Deutsche Telekom Foundation .

In 2011 Dietlein received his doctorate summa cum laude with his dissertation Spectral Theoretical Structures of Coxeter Transformations Induced by Preprojective Algebras and Algebraic Combinatorics in Mathematics. In 2012 he was awarded the Klaus Liebrecht Prize for this. From 2009 to 2014 Felix Dietlein studied medicine at the University of Cologne. In 2016 he passed the second state examination in medicine. He is a postdoctoral fellow at the Clinic for Internal Medicine at the University Clinic in Cologne in the “Oncogene Signaling” working group.

In 2015, Felix Dietlein and his research team led by Christian Reinhardt succeeded in developing a new cancer therapy based on the knowledge that the growth of certain tumors can be prevented by inhibiting two enzymes (kinase inhibitors Chk1 and MK2). The results of the work were published in an article in the journal Cell , the first author of which is Dietlein. In October 2015, Dietlein received the Walter Schulz Foundation's research award for his research results, which is endowed with 10,000 euros. Dietlein is thus the youngest recipient of the Walter Schulz Foundation.

In 2016 Dietlein was awarded a doctorate by the Medical Faculty of the University of Cologne with his dissertation A framework to comprehensively identify synergistic drug interactions in cancer. nat. med. PhD.

Since the end of 2016 he has been a research assistant at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston at Eliezer Van Allen (Harvard Medical School / Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard).

Dietlein is one of the few Germans who have three doctorates.
