Dr. Christoph Q. Schmidt is a private lecturer and head of a working group at the Institute for Naturopathy and Clinical Pharmacology at the University Hospital of Ulm. He is a qualified pharmacist and studied pharmacy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. He received his doctorate from the University of Edinburgh (Edinburgh, UK) in 2009 for his work on protein biochemistry and structural biology, which dealt with complement regulators. Before coming to the University of Ulm, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA) on complement mechanisms and researching new methods for complement inhibition. He is continuing to expand these research areas, which increasingly also include protein engineering, in Ulm. Dr. Schmidt is an active member of the German Pharmaceutical Society (DPHG), the International Complement Society (ICS), and an elected board member of the pan-European scientific association European Complement Network (ECN).
