Life

Imhof grew up in the United States ( Baton Rouge , Louisiana; Cincinnati , Ohio) and Carinthia ( Villach ). In 1983 he graduated from high school in Villach. He completed his human medicine studies in Vienna in 1992 with a doctoral thesis.

In 1999 he took part in establishing the production of allogeneic and autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells , after having gained experience with the first Austrian heart valve bank in 1993. From 2000 he dealt with isoflavones (phytohormones) as a natural alternative to hormonal treatment and showed the effect of micronutrients, especially in male fertility. Furthermore, he carried out the clinical extraction and storage of tissue from the ovary to maintain the fertility of young tumor patients ( Ovarian Tissue Banking ) in Austria.
