ESTRO AWARDS
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Hans-Peter Rodemann
Division of Radiation Biology & Molecular Environmental Research,
Dept of Radiation Oncology, University of Tuebingen
Tuebingen, Germany
After studying cell biology (1970-1975) Prof Rodemann received his
doctoral degree from the University of Hohenheim, Germany in 1979.
From 1979-1982 he worked as postdoc in the Department of Physiology
at Harvard Medical School and focussed on regulatory mechanisms
of protein degradation. Having returned to the Department of
Cell Biology at the University of Hohenheim, he concentrated on
mechanisms of cell differentiation and received the Habilitation for Cell
Biology in 1986. Thereafter, he joined the Department of Developmental
Biology at the University of Bielefeld as group leader and started to
focus on the molecular effects of radiation on cell differentiation. In
1992 he was appointed as Full Professor of Radiation Biology and Head
of the Div. of Radiobiology & Molecular Environmental Research,
Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Tübingen. Since
then, his research group has focussed on the molecular mechanisms of
normal and tumour cell responses to radiation.
Prof Rodemann has to date authored more than 190 research
articles. He has been a member of ESTRO since 1992 and chaired the
ESTRO radiobiology committee from 2002 to 2010. In recognition
of his research achievements he received the Klaus Breur award in
2006. Besides having been presented with other several scientific
awards, Prof Rodemann was elected as member of the Leopoldina -
National Academy of Sciences, Germany, in 2011. Together with Prof
Stephan Bodis in Switzerland, he founded and is still the organiser
of the Wolfsberg Meeting Series on Molecular Radiation Biology/
Oncology. This meeting has developed into one of the most important
international conferences in the field.
