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.
