Life

Michael Sendtner is the son of Alois and Maria Sendtner, née Fuchs.

From 1972 to 1978 he studied classical guitar and lute with Barbara Probst-Polášek at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich , then from 1978 to 1980 human medicine at the University of Regensburg and then until 1984 clinical medicine at the Medical Faculty of the Technical University of Munich , where he 1987 Dr. med. received his doctorate.

From 1985 to 1987 he worked as a Max Planck fellow in the Neurochemistry Department under the direction of Hans Thoenen at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry on the purification and cloning of the neurotrophic factor Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and was then scientific until 1994 Assistant to Thoenen.

In the meantime he received his habilitation in 1992 (Dr. med. Habil., Exp. Neurology). In the same year he also got married. The marriage resulted in two daughters and a son.

He turned down the call for a C4 chair for biochemistry and pathobiochemistry at the University of Erlangen in 1999 and was the spokesman for the Collaborative Research Center 581 “Molecular Models for Diseases of the Nervous System” in Würzburg from 2000 to 2012, and from 2000 also director there as C4 professor of the Institute for Clinical Neurobiology at the University Hospital Würzburg .

Sendtner's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration and the development of new treatment methods for neurodegenerative diseases . He is the author of numerous scientific publications .

Among other things, he also worked on Stephanie Grollman's work The Image of the “Other” in Luise Rinser's diaries and travelogues (2000).

From 2011 to 2017 he was a Senator of the German Research Foundation. Since 2003 he has been a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Catholic Academy in Bavaria and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for Behavior and Environment (VerUm).
