Würzburg's new genetics professor: revolution in medicine!

Würzburg.An exciting chapter in medical research begins! The University Medical Center Würzburg has Dr. Anke Katharina Bergmann appointed the new professor of clinical genetics and genetics. Previously, she was deputy director of the Institute for Human Estacle at the Hannover Medical School (MHH), where she significantly built the national genetic reference diagnosis for acute lymphatic leukemia (all) in children. Her impressive career now leads her to Würzburg, where she wants to bring a fresh wind to genetic medicine!

Dr. Bergmann plans to intensify participation in the nationwide model project for genome sequencing. Your expertise will flow directly into the Center for Rare Diseases (Zese) of the Würzburg University Hospital. With an impressive academic background - she studied human medicine in Berlin and Paris and did her doctorate at the Charité - not only brings you knowledge, but also international experience. She has well prepared her time at the Harvard University in Boston and at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein Kiel.

Vision for the future of genetic medicine

"I would like to integrate genetic medicine into clinical diagnostics, prevention and therapy even more," explains Bergmann. Your goal is to establish clinical genetics as the basis for personalized medicine. After her habilitation and specialist detention, she moved to the MHH in 2019 and has worked there since 2021 as deputy director at one of the largest human -genetic institutes in Germany. The future of medicine in Würzburg looks promising, and Dr. Bergmann is ready to accept the challenge!
