Michael Oberhuber

Michael Oberhuber is director of Laimburg Research Centre in Pfatten-Auer (Vadena-Ora), Italy, since 2009. He holds a Msc. and PhD in chemistry from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. During his PhD thesis, he investigated the molecular processes of autumnal leave senescence, unravelling the secrets of the fall colours.
In 2003, he moved to The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, CA, to study molecular evolution and the origin of life.
Back to Europe, he joined Sandoz Development Centre at Sandoz/Novartis (Kundl, Austria) as laboratory head for the development of pharmaceuticals.
His research interests include agricultural chemistry, nutrition, natural product chemistry and chemical biology.
