Matthias Hans Tschöp (born April 7, 1967 in Munich ) is a German neuroendocrinologist and scientific director and management spokesman at the Helmholtz Zentrum München . He is founding director for biomedicine at the Helmholtz Pionier Campus and visiting professor at Yale University . As an Alexander von Humboldt Professor , he heads the Department of Metabolic Diseases at the Technical University of Munich .

Career

Tschöp studied 1987-1994 medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilians University , where he in 1998 with the work of the establishment and application of a non-isotopic method for measuring testosterone in saliva Dr. med. and worked from 1995 to 1999 as an assistant doctor at the University of Munich Hospital and as a research assistant in the neuroendocrinology department. As a postdoctoral fellow, he worked in the research department of Eli Lilly and Company . In 2002 he got his own research group at the German Institute for Nutritional Research in Potsdam before accepting a professorship at the University of Cincinnati in 2003 . Here he was most recently director of the Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence and holder of the Arthur-Russel-Morgan Endowed Chair for Internal Medicine . Following a joint call from the Helmholtz Center Munich and the Technical University of Munich for an Alexander von Humboldt professorship, Tschöp returned to Germany in 2011. From 2011 to 2018 he was Scientific Director of the Helmholtz Diabetes Center and Director of the Institute for Diabetes and Obesity at the Helmholtz Center in Munich. In 2014 he founded the journal Molecular Metabolism (2017/2018 Impact Factor : 6.3), which he also headed as editor-in-chief until 2018. Tschöp has been a member of the Advisory Board of the renowned journal Cell since 2020 .

Tschöp decoded key signaling pathways for communication between the intestines and the brain, including the hunger signal ghrelin . He also showed the involvement of glial cells in the functioning of the brain in hunger and metabolic control. Using combined approaches from physiology, human biology and pharmacology , he and the chemist Richard DiMarchi discovered a number of promising new drug candidates for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus , some of which are in clinical studies (as of 2017). The triple hormone molecules GLP-1 , GIP and glucagon developed by Tschöp and DiMarchi are particularly promising.
