Biographical Sketch Jan Tuckermann

Jan Tuckermann has completed his Ph.D from Karlsruhe University, Germany in 1999 and performed postdoctoral studies in the German Cancer Research Centre, Heidelberg, Germany until 2003. After being Group Leader at the Leibniz Institute of Age Research-Fritz Lipmann Institute, Jena, Germany until 2012 he became a full professor and director of the Institute of Comparative Molecular Endocrinology at University of Ulm. His research program addresses cell type specific molecular mechanisms of steroid receptors at crossroads between bone biology and immunology and metabolism using transgenic mouse models and functional genomics. He has published more than 180 papers in reputed journals (Nature, Nature Communications, Cell Metabolism, Ann Rheum Dis, Nat Immunol etc. H-index > 60)
Jan Tuckermann serves as President of the German Society of Endocrinology from 2023-2026.
