Gunther Neuhaus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunther Neuhaus (born September 19, 1953 in Linz ) is an Austrian biologist, he is Professor of Cell Biology and Vice Rector for Research at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau .

Live and act

After graduating from high school in 1974, Neuhaus studied biology and philosophy at the University of Salzburg , where he was awarded a Dr. phil. received his doctorate. From 1980 to 1987 he carried out research at the Max Planck Institute in Ladenburg near Heidelberg, with an academic guest position in 1982 at Rockefeller University , New York City . From 1988 he was a scientist at the ETH Zurich , where he completed his habilitation in 1993 with a thesis on developmental biology of plants.

In 1995 he was offered the chair for cell biology at the Biological Institute II at the University of Freiburg. Neuhaus' main areas of work are cell biology and the development of symmetry during plant embryogenesis . He also conducts research in the field of signal networks in plants with a focus on abiotic stress and light.

In 1999 he founded greenovation Biotech GmbH together with Ralf Reski, which produces pharmaceutically highly effective glycoproteins in closed photobioreactors. greenovation has developed a moss bioreactor for the biotechnological production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, which is a safe and cost-effective alternative to other production systems.

Neuhaus is the managing director of the Center for Applied Biosciences at the University of Freiburg. From the 36th edition in 2008 Neuhaus is one of the editors of the well-known textbook on botany founded by Eduard Strasburger and since 2000 Neuhaus has been a member of the Leopoldina .
