Jörg Vogel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jörg Vogel (born April 1, 1967 in Cottbus ) is a German scientist in the field of RNA biology. He is Professor and Director of the Institute for Molecular Infection Biology (IMIB) at the Medical Faculty of the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg .

Vogel studied biochemistry at the Humboldt University in Berlin and the Imperial College London . After receiving his doctorate (1996–1999), he carried out research at Uppsala University as part of his postdoc and was an EMBO Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem . From 2004 to 2009 he headed a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin. He has been W3 professor at IMIB since 2009 and, as the successor to Jörg Hacker, head of the institute.

Vogel's research activities include small, regulatory RNA molecules, RNA sequencing, RNA localization as well as microRNA and long, non-coding RNA molecules in infected host cells. Among other achievements, he was a pioneer in the application of high-throughput RNA sequencing for the analysis of bacterial transcriptomes , the study of the maturation of CRISPR- RNA as well as the interactions between pathogenic bacteria and their hosts. Jörg Vogel has contributed to more than 100 scientific publications, many of which have been published in high-ranking journals such as Nature , PNAS and EMBO Journal .

He received the VAAM Research Award 2010 and the DGHM Senior Scientist Award 2011 . In 2011 he was honored with an EMBO membership for his extraordinary research . In 2013 Vogel was elected a member of the American Academy of Microbiology and the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina . Thomson Reuters added Jörg Vogel to the list of frequently cited researchers in 2015. From January 2016 to January 2019 he is visiting professor at Imperial College London in the Infectious Diseases Department. Vogel is also one of the winners of the 2017 Leibniz Prize .
