He specialized in molecular biology at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge (England), joined the Department of Research of the University Hospital Basel in 1982 and was elected professor of pathobiology in 1992. Between 1986 and 2000 he acted as deputy chairman and chairman of the Department of Research (now named Department of Biomedicine, DBM). In 1996/97 he was visiting professor at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. In 2006, he was elected as president of the planning commission (PlaKo) and in 2009 as vice rector of the University of Basel. He is also a fellow of the Collegium Helveticum in Zurich. His research interests are in the fields of molecular endocrinology, obesity, tumor targeting, electrobiology, frontier of science areas and more recently in aspects of reproducibility (the current topic of the Collegium Helveticum). His teaching focuses on pathobiochemistry/biology and cell signalling. At the end of 2010 he ended his career as research group leader of the DBM.
