Martin Zenke Biography

Martin Zenke is one of the most popular and richest Biochemist who was born on August 7, 1953 in Korbach, Hesse, Germany. Martin Zenke born August 7 1953. He was born in Korbach is an German biochemist and cell biologist. He is also a Professor of the field of Cell Biology and scientist who conducts research into stem cells as well as biomedical engineering.

In 1988, he relocated to in 1988 to the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), Vienna, Austria to become a Junior Scientist until the year 1995. In 1992, he was awarded his degree of senior lecturer with a specialization in Molecular Genetics from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. From 1995 until 2003 Martin Zenke was a Research Group Leader at the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, Germany.

Martin Zenke’s research focuses on the transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In 1986 he and his colleagues showed that transcriptional enhancers exhibit a modular structure and are composed of individual elements, which on their own are rather weak but act in synergy, and thereby build up enhancer activity. In 1988 Martin Zenke started to work on retroviral oncogenes, in particular on the v-erbA and v-rel oncogenes. His laboratory constructed a series of oncogenes that could be switched on and off at will. These conditional oncogenes were used to study differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into red blood cells and antigen presenting dendritic cells.

From 1982 until 1985, Martin Zenke worked as postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Pierre Chambon at Universite Louis Pasteur, Faculte de Medecine and Laboratoire de Genetique Moleculaire des Eucaryotes (LGME) in Strasbourg, France. From 1985 to 1988 , he was an EMBL Fellow within the Differentiation Programme of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg, Germany together with Thomas Graf and Hartmut Beug.
