Dorothea Fiedler PhD

Professor Dorothea Fiedler was a Chemical Biology and new Director at the Leibniz-Institut fur Molekulare Pharmakologie (Berlin). She went to college at the University of Wuerzburg and did her Diploma work at UC Berkeley.

She decided she liked the United States for many reasons that include Thanksgiving (and also German beers are overrated), so she stayed at Berkeley for her Ph.D. She worked in the Raymond and Bergman labs, studying host-guest systems and their application to catalysis. She then moved across the Bay to UCSF, where she joined the Shokat lab to investigate signal transduction pathways. She started her academic career at Princeton University but recently relocated to the FMP, Berlin.
