Rudi Balling (born 17 October 1953 in Daun, Rhineland-Palatinate) is a German geneticist. He is director of the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine at the University of Luxembourg. == Biography == Following his abitur (1972) at the Geschwister-Scholl Gymnasium in Daun, Germany and military service, Rudi Balling studied Food Science from 1974 to 1980 at the University of Bonn, Germany and at the Washington State University in Pullman, USA. Afterwards Rudi Balling received his PhD (Dr. troph.) for his studies on embryotoxicology at the RWTH Aachen and at the NIEHS (NIH). From 1984 to 1986 Rudi Balling researched imprinting mechanisms in developmental biology with Prof. Dr. Janet Rossant at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at the Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, one of the leading labs in that field. Afterwards he moved to the lab of Prof. Peter Gruss at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany where he was involved in clarifying morphogenetic mechanisms during development. In 1991 Rudi Balling took his Habilitation and was appointed leader of a team in the Department of Prof. Dr. Davor Solter at the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology in Freiburg, Germany. From 1993 until 2000 he was Director of the Institute for Mammalian Genetics at the GSF-Research Centre for Health and the Environment (renamed Helmholtz Zentrum München). In 1994 he accepted an extraordinary professorship at the RWTH Aachen, followed in 1998 by the Chair of Developmental Genetics at the Technical University of Munich. From 2001 to 2009 Balling was Scientific Director of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), previously called Gesellschaft für Biotechnologische Forschung (GBF), in Braunschweig, Germany and an honorary professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig.〔(Presse release about Rudi Balling taking he position as scientific director at the Helholtz Centre for Infection Research (German) )〕 Under his leadership the center shifted its focus to infection research that pursued previously of biotechnology.〔(Press release about the renaming of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (German) )〕 In September 2009 Rudi Balling became Director of the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB). He joins the multilingual research university in Luxembourg since then. About 125 of his publications are listed in the Science Citation Index. These have been cited more than 5000 times. Rudi Balling's Hirsch-Index is 39. He is married with two children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rudi Balling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
