Michael Lämmerhofer graduated in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1992 and received his PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry in 1996 both at the University of Graz, Austria. In 1997, he adopted a position as an assistant professor in the group of Prof. Wolfgang Lindner at the University of Vienna, Department of Analytical Chemistry. In 1999-2000 he was post-doc at the Department of Chemistry of the University of California, Berkeley with Prof. Frantisek Svec. Back in Vienna to his former position, he worked as assistant professor on his habilitation in Analytical Chemistry which he earned in 2002 and became associate professor in the same year. In 2011, he accepted a call for full professorship from the University of Tuebingen, Germany, where he is Professor for Pharmaceutical (Bio)Analysis. His research interests include the development of functionalized separation materials such as chiral stationary phases, monoliths, and nanoparticles. Recently, he shifted his focus on bioanalytical separations in the field of metabolomics and plasmid DNA analysis. Another topic of current interest is the analysis of oxidative stress markers, in particular oxidized phospholipids. Michael has published more than 120 papers and 6 book chapters, and edited a book on metabolomics. He holds 7 patents and is associate editor of Journal of Separation Science.
