Prof Dr Dr h.c. Dirk Heinz
Head of Department

Dirk Heinz is a German biochemist and structural biologist. He studied chemistry in Freiburg/Germany and received his PhD in structural biology from the University of Basel/Switzerland. After a postdoctoral stay at the University of Oregon and habilitation in Freiburg, he moved to the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) as head of a junior research group and subsequently rose to head of department. In 2011, he took over as Scientific Director of the Center, a position he held until June 2023. Since 2012 he holds a full professorship in structural biology at the Technical University of Braunschweig. In July 2023, Dirk Heinz returned to active research as Head of the Department of Molecular Structural Biology. Dirk Heinz is an EMBO member and holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Würzburg.
