Peter Läuger

Peter Läuger (* 1934 in Lörrach ; † 1990 ) was a German biophysicist .

Live and act

From 1944 to 1953 Läuger attended the humanistic high school in Lörrach. He studied chemistry, physics and mathematics at the Universities of Basel and Hamburg. Läuger was the 1962 Chemical Physics and the Institute University of Basel with the work of the self-diffusion coefficient in the vapor carbon tetrachloride doctorate .

In 1964 he went for a short time to the Eduard Zintl Institute at the Technical University of Darmstadt , where he worked together with R. Schlögl in the field of biophysical transport phenomena. He then returned to the University of Basel, where he completed his habilitation in 1966. He then was a private lecturer until he was appointed full professor at the Biological Institute of the newly founded University of Konstanz in 1968 . In particular, he researched the mechanisms of biological ion transport (carriers, channels and pumps in artificial lipid membranes).

Together with Gerold Adam and Günther Stark, he was the author of the standard work for teaching physical chemistry and biophysics , Adam, Laeuger, Stark for short .
