After his diploma doctorate Kiehl at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in cooperation with the Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg at Theodor Wieland Dr. rer. nat. with the doctoral thesis Effect of thiol and sulfenic acid agents of increasing alkyl chain length on mitochondrial energy transfer and summa cum laude . With this work he set accents in the research of energy production, transmission and implementation in humans and animals and gave the direction for further evaluation of metabolism, disease and energy production. From 1977 to 1979 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with Yousef Hatefi at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in San Diego , La Jolla , California, working on the mitochondrional respiratory chain with ATP synthase , Complex IV, energy conversion and production.
