Life
After graduating from high school in 1953, Glaser, the son of an engineer, began studying biology at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena , which he graduated with a diploma in 1958. In 1961 he received his doctorate from Manfred Gersch with investigations into radiological water pollution.

Until 2012 he published other scientific papers.

Glaser is one of the first representatives of modern biophysical research and was instrumental in establishing it in university teaching in the GDR. For many years he was co-editor of the internationally renowned journals studia biophysica and Biologische Rundschau . His text Introduction to Biophysics from 1971 became a standard work and he himself updated it several times. In 2012 a revised new edition appeared in New York .
