Dr. Werner’s research focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying impaired healing. She has been a Professor of Cell Biology at the ETH Zurich since February 1999. She studied Biochemistry at the Universities of Tubingen and Munich. In 1989 she earned her Ph.D. at the University of Munich, after having completed her dissertation at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried in the department of Prof. Peter Hans Hofschneider. After a short postdoctoral period at the same institute, she moved to the University of California San Francisco, where she started to work on the molecular mechanisms of growth factor action and tissue repair as a postdoctoral scientist in the laboratory of Prof. Lewis T. Williams. From 1993-1999 she was a group leader at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany. In 1996 she obtained a Hermann-and-Lilly Schilling professorship of Medical Research at the same institute and from 1995-1999 she was also Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich.
