Gerhard Rödel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard Rödel (born July 31, 1952 in Augsburg ) is a German biologist .

Life

Rödel studied biology at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich from 1971 to 1977 and received his doctorate there in 1981 with a thesis on experiments to understand the regulation of mitochondrial gene expression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . At the LMU Munich he was an academic advisor and later senior advisor at the Institute for Genetics and Microbiology from 1981 and completed his habilitation in 1987 with a thesis on the molecular genetics of yeasts. This was preceded by a research stay at Cornell University with Thomas D. Fox .

In 1987 Rödel took over the professorship for molecular biology and general pathology at the University of Ulm and was head of the laboratory for molecular pathology. In 1994 he accepted a position at the Technical University of Dresden , where he initially represented the professorship for general genetics and has taught and researched as professor for general genetics since February 1995. Central research topics are devoted to the biogenesis of mitochondria and biological sensor-actuator systems.

From 2010 to 2020 Rödel was Vice-Rector for Research in the Rectorate of the Technical University of Dresden. In addition to his responsibility for research funding and transfer, he is committed to the next generation of academics: He has been the spokesman for the Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering (DIGS-BB) since 2006, director of the Graduate Academy of TU Dresden since 2012, and a member of the board of UniWiND , the university association for the qualification of young scientists in Germany. Within the DRESDEN-concept research alliance, Rödel is a member of the board of trustees of the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research (IPF), Solid State and Materials Research (IFW) and Ecological Spatial Development (IOER), the Board of Trustees of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) as well as the Administrative Board of the Saxon State Library - Dresden State and University Library (SLUB).
