Wieland B. Huttner
Wieland B. Huttner , also Wieland Bernhard Huttner , (born February 15, 1950 in Hanover ) is a German physician, neurologist , biochemist and university professor.
biography
Huttner studied medicine at the University of Hamburg and the University of Oxford from 1969 to 1975 . He received his doctorate in Hamburg in 1976. From 1976 to 1980 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen and at Yale University in New Haven (Connectcut / USA). From 1981 to 1985 he was a junior research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry . In 1985 he completed his habilitation in physiological chemistry at the University of Würzburg . In 1991 he became a group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and a professor at the University of Heidelberg . Since 1998 he has been Director and Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and also honorary professor for neurobiology at the TU Dresden . From 2009 to 2012 he was chairman of the Scientific Council of the Max Planck Society .
Huttner and his team received a lot of public attention "with the realization that a gene mutation was significantly involved in causing our brain to grow by leaps and bounds about two million years ago"
