Helmuth Gehart PhD

Helmuth Gehart received his Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (Zurich, Switzerland) in 2013. During his Ph.D. training with Prof. Romeo Ricci, Helmuth studied the mechanisms behind Type II Diabetes and the complex cellular checkpoints that maintain balance to prevent disease. Thereafter, Helmuth aimed to combine his knowledge of signaling and metabolism with the fascinating field of stem cell biology. Thus, he joined the group of Prof. Hans Clevers at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands). There he investigates adult tissue stem cells of the liver and their use in clinical research and regenerative medicine.
