He holds the position of Professor of Biochemistry within the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Biocenter of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg and serves as an associate member at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI).
Academic Career edit
Fischer pursued his biochemistry studies at the Free University of Berlin and the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Germany. He earned his doctorate in 1992 and conducted his initial postdoctoral research from 1992 to 1995 at the Institute of Molecular Tumorbiology (IMT) of Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany, under the guidance of Prof. Reinhard Lührmann. From 1995 to 1997, Fischer held a position as a DKFZ Fellow (AIDS Scholar) at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA), working in Prof. Gideon Dreyfuss's group.[1]
From 1997 to 2003 he headed an independent research group at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried. Since 2003 he has held the Chair (W3) of Biochemistry I at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany,[2] and since 2019 he has been affiliated member of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI/HIRI), Germany. From 2018 to 2021, Fischer was Associate Director at the Cancer Therapy Research Center (CTRC)[3] of Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg.
From 2014 to 2018, Fischer was Head of the Department of RNA-based disease therapy at Genelux,[4] San Diego, USA and Research Scientist at the Department of Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences, University of California, San Diego, USA.
