I am a Chief Scientist at AstraZeneca, adjunct Professor at the Karolinska Institute and Principal Investigator at the Integrated Cardio Metabolic Center at the Karolinska Institute (ICMC/KI) in Stockholm, Sweden.
I was recruited to AstraZeneca from Imperial College, London where I was Professor and Chair of Myocardial Genetics from 2009 to 2014. I was formerly Professor and Head of the Working Group of Cardiovascular Molecular Genetics at the Georg August University, Göttingen, Germany. I received my professional training as a Postgraduate Researcher and then Group Leader at the Institute of Molecular Medicine, UC San Diego and clinical training at the University Hospital Benjamin Franklin, Free University Berlin (Charité). I received my doctoral degree at the Max-Planck-Institute of Physiological and Clinical Research, Department of Experimental Cardiology, and was educated at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Medical School, Frankfurt and Justus Liebig University Medical School, Giessen.
I have received several prestigious awards, including the Fritz Acker Award of the German Cardiac Society (2007), the Theodor Frerichs Award of the German Society for Internal Medicine (2003) and an AstraZeneca Award in Basic Science (2002).
What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning. (Werner Heisenberg)
