note = "Funding Information: He grew up in the Rhineland and majored in philosophy and art history before attending medical school in Freiburg, Glasgow, Toronto, and at the University of Massachusetts. In 1984, he completed his MD in Freiburg with experiments using isolated pancreatic lobules, his first exposure to the pancreas field that has never since ceased to fascinate him. After a pathology internship in Freiburg, where he was shown how to operate an electron microscope, he completed a residency in internal medicine at the Technical University of Aachen. Supported by the German Research Council, he worked as a post doc with Michael Steer and Ashok Saluja in Boston, interrupted by training in cell biology with Jacopo Meldolesi in Milan, Italy, and followed by a faculty appointment at the Harvard University. On his return to Germany in 1992, he was board certified in gastroenterology, obtained a second doctorate from the University of Ulm (Habiliation, DSc equivalent) for work on the cell biology of pancreatitis, and was promoted to reader and clinical consultant. In 1994, he moved to the Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry and the laboratory of Axel Ullrich in Munich as a staff scientist and was later board certified in biochemistry. From 1996, he worked as an assistant professor and consultant gastroenterologist in Homburg (Saar) and as tenured associate professor at the University of M{\"u}nster (1997–2003) before he accepted a full professorship at the University of Greifswald (founded in 1456), where he served as chairman of the Department of Medicine A and Vice Dean for Research and Clinical Affairs until 2020.
