From Vancouver to Berlin: W3 Professorship for Bioinformatician Irmtraud Meyer at the FU Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center
The bioinformatician Irmtraud Meyer of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has accepted the appointment to a W3 professorship for “Bioinformatics of the RNA Structure and Transcriptome Regulation” at the Freie Universität Berlin (FU) in cooperation with the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB) of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC). The two institutions have thus succeeded in recruiting an internationally recognized scientist to Berlin and to strengthen the field of systems biology and systems medicine. Professor Meyer will begin her work in Berlin during this winter term and thus return to Germany after 16 years of research abroad.
