Ralf Baumeister (* 1961 in Schwabach ) is a German professor of bioinformatics and molecular genetics .

Life

Baumeister graduated from the Adam-Kraft-Gymnasium Schwabach in 1980 . He then studied biology at the University of Erlangen , where he graduated with a diploma and then completed his doctoral studies with a thesis on " Molecular mechanisms of the regulation of tetracycline resistance determinants ", with which he received his doctorate in 1992.

After research stays in Stockholm and Berlin , Baumeister was at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA, from 1992 to 1995 . From 1995 to 2000 he was a group leader at the gene center in Munich and in 1999, together with Karl-Heinz Tovar, founded the now insolvent biotech company EleGene AG in Martinsried .

From 2000 to 2003 he was Professor of Metabolic Biochemistry at the Adolf Butenandt Institute of the Medical Faculty of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . Since 2003 he has held a professorship as the successor to Rainer Hertel at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg , where he has been director of the Center for Biosystems Analysis since 2005 .
