Siegmund Reissmann

Biography:

Prof. Dr. habil. Siegmund Reissmann was born in 1940 in Chemnitz, Germany, and graduated from the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena: diploma in chemistry 1963, PhD in 1968 about syntheses on bradykinin analogues, habilitation in 1977 about structure-activity relationship, conformational and pharmacological studies of bradykinin-analogues. He is a Professor in Biochemistry since 1985, was Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics from 1985 to 2005, and Scientific Advisor of Jena Bioscience GmbH from 2005 to 2017. He has given lectures in Biochemistry at the universities in Jena and Chemnitz. His research of interest includes syntheses and conformational studies on peptides with non-proteinogenic amino acids and backbone cyclization, SAR-studies and investigation on the molecular action mechanism of peptide hormone bradykinin and bradykinin-potentiating peptides, targeted transduction of easy and difficult to transfect live cells with complexes formed from different cell-penetrating peptides and various proteins. He has studied abroad with Y. A. Ovchinnikov, V. T. Ivanov and M. P. Filatova (Moscow); K. Blaha and I. Fric (Prague); K. Medzihradszky (Budapest), P. Fromageot (Paris); J. M. Stewart (Denver); and V. Hruby (Tucson). He is a member of various scientific societies.Prof. Dr. habil.
