The surgical and interdisciplinary treatment of brain tumours is Prof. Dr. Felix Behling’s main area of research. He conducts research into how tumours grow into surrounding brain tissue and develops new criteria for their classification and prognosis. The aim is to more precisely tailor individual therapies to the biological characteristics of the tumour. Clinically, his research focuses on the treatment of brain tumours and tumours of the central nervous system that often require complex surgery. He therefore focuses on surgical processes with increased precision and safety. Interdisciplinary cooperation is thereby very important to him in neuro-oncological patient care as well as in research and teaching.

Behling is a neurosurgeon and was most recently a senior physician at Tübingen 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 Hospital. There he led a neurosurgical oncology outpatient’s clinic and represented neurosurgery on the interdisciplinary tumour board of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Tübingen-Stuttgart. He previously completed his specialist training there. Behling studied human medicine in G?ttingen. Since 2020, he has led the working group for translational oncological neurosurgery and is the author of many scientific publications. ?

Prof. Dr. Matthias Heck concentrates on prostate cancer in his research. He researches biomarkers that are relevant for diagnosis and therapy. He also brings a translational approach to transmit research results more quickly into everyday clinical practice. His research is closely connected with clinical work and aims to enable individual optimised treatment for each patient. Heck possesses extensive experience in complex uro-oncological surgery, as well as in open and minimally invasive robot-assisted surgical procedures.

Heck is a urology specialist and was previously leading senior physician as well as deputy clinical director at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Urology at the TUM Klinikum Rechts der Isar. In 2022, he was appointed adjunct professor there. Heck studied human medicine in Heidelberg and obtained his specialist qualification in urology at the Technical 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Munich. He completed his habilitation in urology in 2016, also in Munich. He is well connected to national and international professional circles.

Prof. Dr. Karsten Lambers devotes his research and teaching to the question of how digital imaging and computational methods can expand and deepen research in the humanities. He focuses on imaging techniques in the humanities, particularly on archaeological remote sensing, image-based recording and analysis of cultural heritage as well as the development and application of machine learning methods for the (semi-)automated recognition of relevant patterns and structures in extensive digital data sets. His aim is to establish image analysis as a basis for the interpretation and management of cultural heritage. In his work, he combines approaches and methods from archaeology, digital humanities, art and cultural history, geo and environmental sciences and computer science. The chair was established at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Augsburg as part of the Hightech Agenda Bayern (HTA).

Karsten Lambers was previously Professor of Digital and Computational Archaeology at Leiden 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 (Netherlands). Prior to this, he held a junior professorship in?Digital Geoarchaeology at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Bamberg. He has also been a research fellow at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Konstanz and a research associate at the German Archaeological Institute in Bonn and at ETH Zurich. After studying American Anthropology, Prehistoric Archaeology and Spanish in Bonn, he completed his doctorate at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Zurich on the Nasca geoglyphs of Palpa (Peru). Together with colleagues, he has twice received the EUROPA NOSTRA Award for his research.

新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 laboratory medicine, digitalisation, and data-based research are the focus of Prof. Dr. Alexander Leichtle's work. He is particularly interested in how routine hospital data can be better used for diagnostics and therapy with the help of modern statistics and Artificial Intelligence. In Augsburg, he is setting up a new unit for mass spectrometry, which will both expand clinical diagnostics and enable scientific projects. In doing so, he is working closely with the faculty’s medical information sciences research focus.

Leichtle most recently worked at the Cantonal Hospital in Baden. Prior to that, he worked at the Inselspital Bern as a senior physician and scientific director and played a key role in establishing the Biobank Bern. He then took over as head of the Swiss Transplant Cohort Biobank and is an associate professor at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Bern. He completed his medical studies at Ludwig-Maximilians- Universit?t in Munich and his specialist training in laboratory medicine at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Leipzig’s 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】ical Center. His awards include the Zeise Doctoral Prize from the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Leipzig and the Publication Prize from the Metabolomics Society. He is active in numerous scientific committees and has been involved in raising extensive third-party funding.

Subject-specific teaching and learning in connection with German language, literature, and media are the focus of Prof. Dr. Christel Meier’s professorship. Meier understands German didactics as a transdisciplinary, application-oriented field of study with a wide range of related disciplines, which combine subject-specific and educational perspectives and research methods. Her research focuses on empirical work related to language and literary-related skills among school students, empirical teaching research, research on teacher professionalism, reading promotion, and children’s and youth literature.

Meier previously worked at Friedrich-Alexander-Universit?t Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), where she taught and conducted research as a senior academic counsel at the Chair of Didactics of German Language and Literature. In 2019, she completed her habilitation there on the topic of “Facets of Competence in Literary-Aesthetic Language Reflection,” for which she received the Habilitation Award from the Faculty of Philosophy. She has held substitute professorships in Erfurt and at Dresden 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Technology, worked as an editor for the Robert Bosch Foundation in Poland, and as a senior teacher in N?rdlingen. She completed her studies in German and history for teaching at secondary schools in Erlangen and Rome and received her doctorate from Friedrich-Alexander-Universit?t Erlangen-Nürnberg. Meier is a member of the editorial board of the Journal for Linguistic-Literary Learning and German Didactics (SLLD-Z).

Prof. Dr. Nadine Klass’s research focuses on copyright and media law, particularly at the interface between civil and constitutional law, with an emphasis on the tension between personal rights, freedom of expression, and artistic freedom. Her work is influenced by current developments in the media landscape and is often characterised by interdisciplinary references, particularly involving communication and media studies, sociology, and empirical social research. She is currently focusing on the legal implications and changes brought about by Artificial Intelligence in the media sector.

Klass previously conducted research and taught at the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 of Mannheim, where she held the Chair for Civil Law, Intellectual Property Rights Law, 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】ia Law, and Civil Procedural Law and served as vice-dean and dean of the 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 and Economics.
