Curriculum vitae
Dr. Markus Burkard studied pharmacy at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and did his doctorate in the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Clinical Pharmacy in close cooperation with the University Eye Hospital in Tübingen. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Internal Medicine I at the University Hospital of Tübingen and then the Department of Vegetative and Clinical Physiology. Besides his scientific tasks, he became lecturer, safety officer, and appointed examiner for the First Medical Examination (M1; Physikum) and the Intermediate Dental Examination. Since 2020, Markus Burkard is responsible for the laboratories in Prof. Dr. Dr. Venturelli's Department of Nutritional Biochemistry at the Institute of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Hohenheim and established the Organoids and Animal-free Test Systems (OATS) unit within this group taking advantage of the well-established infrastructure offered by the Venturelli Laboratory that provides extensive expertise in the cultivation, testing, and evaluation of cells, tissues, and organoids. In addition, there is a long-lasting close collaboration with the Department of Internal Medicine at the University Hospital Tübingen, enabling access to tumor biopsies and patient material. Markus Burkard’s teaching focuses on the subject of drugs and nutrition as well as cellular biochemistry including organoids.
