Faculty - Program Directors

While the master's program is operated under the auspices of the Vice-Dean of Research and Teaching at the Charité, it is directly overseen by four joint program directors. These are Professor Dr. Reinhold Schäfer, Professor Dr. Josef Köhrle, Professor Dr. Hans-Peter Herzel, and Professor Dr. Wolfgang Dubiel. In addition, there are two program coordinators on staff who administer the program on a daily basis, and a team of module coordinators who are responsible for the teaching duties.

Molecular Medicine Program Directors - Professors Schäfer, Köhrle, Herzel and Dubiel

The four program directors all teach actively in the program and have ever since the program began in October, 2005. Each one brings to the program many years of teaching, research, and administrative experience. In addition, they are all recognized as experts internationally in their respective fields and have published extensively in top scientific journals.

As a team the program directors not only share responsibilities, but also regularly meet to review and assess the program. The synergy of their team effort consistently results in the generation of new ideas and strategies and ensures the high quality of every aspect of the program. Furthermore, as they receive no reimbursement for their work for the program, financial or otherwise, their commitment to the program is entirely a consequence of their deep belief in the worth of teaching and the benefits of this particular program. As a result, the quality of their participation and leadership regularly surpasses expectations.
