Wilhelm Karl Aicher (* 1958 ) is a German molecular biologist.

Life

Wilhelm K. Aicher studied biology at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (1980–1985) and the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (1983–1984). In Munich he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry . After his diploma thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, he was in 1990 with the work "Cellular and molecular analysis of the IgA Fc receptor on murine T cells" for Dr. rer. nat. PhD . He then worked as a post-doctoral student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham , initially in the Department of Microbiology and later in the Department of Rheumatology . From 1992 to 1996 he was a research assistant at the University Hospital and the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology in Freiburg.

In 1996 he became the biochemical laboratory manager of the cell biological research laboratory of the Orthopedic University Clinic in Tübingen. In 1999 he received his habilitation at the Medical Faculty of the University of Tübingen with the thesis “Regulation of Expression and Functional Potential of the Transcription Factor Egr-1” .

In 2005 he was appointed adjunct professor for molecular medicine at Tübingen University. He is also deputy director of the Center for Regenerative Biology and Regenerative Medicine (zrm) at the University of Tübingen. The focus of research is, among other things, the regeneration of cartilage in order to withstand biomechanical and metabolic peculiarities in the joint as well as the isolation and characterization of signal and messenger substances from the cell cultures. The aim is to manufacture biomaterials for autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT).

He is a member of the Catholic student union AV Cheruskia Tübingen in the CV .
