Biography
Regine Willumeit Römer started as a Physicist studying structure and function of the ribosome. After her habilitation in biochemistry she worked on membrane active
antimicrobial peptides and implant coatings (for permanent Titanium-based implants). In parallel she started working on biodegradable magnesium-based implant
materials. In her division Metallic Biomaterials (Institute for Materials Research, Helmholtz-Center Geesthacht) the full value chain is covered: from fundamental materials
design and production via different processing routes (cast and powder metallurgy), the study of degradation mechanisms towards the biological assessment of the
material in cell culture and animal models.
