After he had defended his medical disputation de arthritide three years later , he traveled via Lübeck to the University of Rostock .

Here he heard mathematics with Stephan Scultetus (also Schultetus, Schulz, * 1602 Osterburg, † April 20, 1654 in Rostock), history with Josua Arnd , and he completed medical lectures with Joachim Stockmann . In June 1646 he traveled to the University of Leiden in Holland . Here he completed oriental language studies and had attended mathematical and medical lectures.

After visiting the universities of Groningen, Franeker, Utrecht and Leuven, he had visited Amsterdam and had come into contact with well-known personalities.

Upon his return to Leiden, he disputed in the presence of the Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg , under the chairmanship of his compatriot Albert Kyper (-1,655) in 1651 with the Inauguraldisputation de pleuritide and thereafter became the MD PhD . He traveled back to his homeland via Friesland and Westphalia. Here he took up an extraordinary professorship in medicine at the University of Königsberg on June 6, 1652. In 1653 he became an adjunct of the medical faculty and on October 2, 1670 he acquired the master's degree in philosophy. In 1681 he became a full third professor at the medical faculty, rose to the second professorship in 1690 and became the first full professor at the medical faculty in 1701.

In 1667 he was also given the professorship of mathematics at the philosophical faculty, which he resigned in 1690. In addition, he was appointed royal Prussian court doctor and appointed physicist at Kneiphof. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Königsberg University. He was rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semesters 1672, 1680 and 1688, as well as in the winter semesters 1691/92, 1695/96 and 1699/1700 . In the winter semester 1703/04 he was Vice Rector.
