Transcription factors in blood cell development

Dr. Tilman Borggrefe studied biochemistry at the Imperial College London before obtaining his PhD at the Basel Institute for Immunology (Switzerland). He performed postdoctoral studies at Stanford University (R. Kornberg laboratory, USA) and was Max-Planck independent group leader in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany). Since 2012 he is professor for biochemistry at the University of Giessen (Germany).

Dr. Benedetto Daniele Giaimo studied biology at the University of Palermo (Italy) before obtaining his Ph.D at the Max Planck Institute of Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany). Since 2012, Dr. Giaimo is a scientist at the University of Giessen (Germany).
