Jörg Wellmer
Jörg Wellmer (born March 21, 1970 in Bielefeld ) is a German neurologist and epileptologist .
Life
After graduating from high school in 1989 at the Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld , Wellmer studied human medicine at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn from 1991 to 1997 and received his doctorate in 1998 at the Institute of Neuropathology with the subject of glioneuronal malformations and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors in pharmacoresistant epilepsies . From 1998 until he was certified as a specialist in 2006, he was initially a doctor in an internship and then an assistant doctor in the clinic for epileptology at the University of Bonn (with Christian E. Elger ) with rotations in the clinics for psychiatry , neurology and neurosurgery. At the same time, he worked in the laboratory for experimental epileptology (with Heinz Beck ) and in the “functional imaging” group (with Guillén Fernández ) at the Clinic for Epileptology and at the Medicine Center Bonn.
From 2006 to 2010 Wellmer was senior physician at the Clinic for Epileptology in Bonn. In 2009 he completed his habilitation in neurology with the thesis on language lateralization and localization in presurgical epilepsy diagnostics.
In 2010 Wellmer founded the Ruhr Epileptology at the University Clinic Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bochum-Langendreer as an epilepsy reference center for the Ruhr metropolitan region. Since then he has been head of Ruhr Epileptology as a senior physician and W2 professor at the Ruhr University in Bochum .

The main research areas are epilepsy-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify changes in the brain structure that cause epilepsy, non-invasive and invasive presurgical epilepsy diagnostics and the development of new methods of minimally invasive epilepsy surgery. Wellmer is (co-) author of currently around 50 PubMed -listed articles and some book chapters.
Wellmer's teaching activities go beyond university teaching. The six-fold participation in the Baltic Sea Summer School on Epilepsy (BSSSE) and the establishment of the Summer School on Imaging in Epilepsy (SuSIE) stand out from numerous regional, national and international training events.
Award
- 2009 Alfred Hauptmann Prize of the German and Austrian Societies for Epileptology and the Swiss League Against Epilepsy (together with Hans-Jürgen Huppertz , Anke Maren Staack , Dirk-Matthias Altenmüller , Horst Urbach and Judith Kröll )
