Werner Giese (veterinarian)

Werner Giese (born September 19, 1936 in Calbe (Saale) ) is a German veterinarian and former professor at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover .

After graduating from high school in Calbe, Werner Giese studied veterinary medicine in Berlin from 1954 and at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover and passed the state examination in 1960. In 1962 he received his doctorate with a thesis on the biokinetics of radioactive carbon-14 in goats and then conducted research at Cornell University in New York, USA, on the metabolism of iodine and strontium in domestic animals. In 1965 he began studying physics at the University of Hanover , which he graduated with a diploma in 1975. In the meantime, he completed his habilitation in 1971 at the Physiological Institute of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover and was appointed as a private lecturer in physiology . In 1972 he was appointed adjunct professor and in 1975 entrusted with the management of the new department for medical physics , later the department of general radiology and medical physics. In 1978 Werner Giese was appointed university professor. In 1999 he retired. His successor was initially provisional Gerhard Breves and later permanently Hermann Seifert .

Werner Giese dealt with the decoration of radioactive cesium in domestic and farm animals. For this purpose, he developed a preparation made from ammonium iron (III) -hexacyanoferrate (II) , which was named Giese salt after him in veterinary pharmacology and which binds cesium in the digestive tract of animals in a similar way to Prussian blue . In granules, it was after the Chernobyl accident and for decontamination of whey powder used.

In 1987 Werner Giese was awarded the first Hanover Prize for Environmental Technology.
