Paul Layer born 1948 in Beutelsbach (near Stuttgart), studied Physics in Stuttgart from 1969 to 1973 and Nutritional Science in Hohenheim, graduating 1977-79 at the University of Constance under F. Hucho on the cholinergic receptor and cholinesterase.
This was followed by a stay in the US between 1977 and 1979 while doing a post-doctoral study at the Stanford School of Medicine. Here, he worked on the nerve growth factor NGF under E. Shooter. After returning to Germany, he examined the development of the brain and eye in chicken embryos at the Max-Planck-Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen from 1980 to 1991. He remained at the University of Tübingen as a Heisenberg scholarship holder for the subject of zoology and was appointed a C4 professor for Developmental Biology & Neurogenetics for the Department of Biology. His research deals with the embryonic functions of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, as well as with methods to cultivate retinal tissue with the use of suitable stem cells (Tissue Engineering). In 1986 and in 1990, cooperation with Chinese scientists brought him to the MPG Guest Laboratory in Shanghai for extended periods of time. Furthermore, he was a visiting professor for Cognitive & Brain Sciences at the University of Tsukuba in Japan in 1999.
Tissue replacement – with and without silicon The fact that women have their breasts enhanced with silicon has very little to do with Tissue Engineering and a lot to do with material (…)
An open question with great relevance for industrial production processes. Researchers at TU Graz and TU Darmstadt have now found an explanation. It is a puzzle long known among experts and very relevant in many industrial production processes: a jump discontinuity in the rise velocity of g ... more
Protons are probably actually smaller than long thought
A few years ago, a novel measurement technique showed that protons are probably smaller than had been assumed since the 1990s. This surprised the scientific community; some researchers even believed that the Standard Model of particle physics would have to be changed. Physicists at the Univ ... more
A small molecule controls lung cancer
In order for a tumour to grow, its cells need to communicate with one another. Disrupting this communication can help to fight the tumour. The research group headed by Dr. Meike Saul at Technical University of Darmstadt has discovered a mechanism that plays a key role in intercellular commu ... more
Fuel cell technology is actually an “old hat”. The first fuel cell was developed by Sir William Grove in 1839; the first fuel cell stack was already introduced to the public in 1842 . Nevertheless, the innovative electro-chemical concept initially gathered dust in the drawer – it was defea ... more
Tissue replacement – with and without silicon The fact that women have their breasts enhanced with silicon has very little to do with Tissue Engineering and a lot to do with material and waste management. Put aesthetics aside and imagine you were deaf (i.e. hearing impaired), dumb (i.e. ... more
New Trends in Computer-Aided Drug Design
Computer-Aided Drug design (CADD) is not new. The Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design (Springer) was founded in 1987, when computers in the worldwide top 500 were slower than today’s smart phones. This makes the field a quarter of a century old. Generally, scientific disciplines of t ... more
Katja Schmitz, born in 1978, studied chemistry in Bonn and Oxford. After graduating in 2002, she completed her doctorate on peptides, peptoids and oligoamines as molecular transporters in the research group of Ute Schepers in the working group of Konrad Sandhoff at the University of Bonn. I ... more
Christina Roth, born 1974 in Jugenheim/Bergstrasse (Germany), studied materials science in one of the first classes at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. From 1998 to 2002, she prepared her dissertation in the special field of structural research under Prof. Hartmut Fuess. Subsequent to ... more
Jürgen Brickmann, born 1939 in Schwerin, studied physics 1959-1965 (Uni Munich, Uni Innsbruck, Tu Munich) and obtained his Ph.D from the TU Munich in 1967. In 1973 he became a Private Docent for physical chemistry at the Uni Freiburg, from 1974 to 1978 he was Professor for chemical dynamic ... more
The q&more concept is to increase the visibility of recent research and innovative solutions, and support the exchange of knowledge. In the broad spectrum of subjects covered, the focus is on achieving maximum quality in highly innovative sectors.
