Since April 1, 2001, the Fraunhofer IBMT was headed by Prof. Dr. Günter R. Fuhr as managing head. At the same time, he followed a call from the Chair of Membrane Physiology at the Humboldt University Berlin (since 1993, with parallel representation of the Chair of Experimental Biophysics since 2000) to the Chair for Biotechnology and Medical Technology at the Medical Faculty of the University of Saarland. Professor Fuhr is a member of both the Medical Faculty and co-opted in the Faculty of Physics and Mechatronics, a member of the Centre for Bioinformatics and co-opted member of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the Humboldt University Berlin. He received his PhD in 1981 in the field of photomorphogenesis in higher plants; in 1985 he habilitated in biophysics. In 1999 he founded the Centre for Biophysics and Bioinformatics at the Humboldt University Berlin, and served as its first executive director until he joined the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.
