German professor and biochemist (born 1962)
Thisbe Kerstin Lindhorst HonFRSC (born 19 November 1962) is a German biochemist who has been professor of organic chemistry and biochemistry at Kiel University since 2000.[1] She was a board member of the German Chemical Society from 2012 to 2019,[2] and was elected as its president from 2016 to 2017. Her research focuses on glycosciences and the function of the glycocalyx .[3]
Early life and education
[ edit ]
Lindhorst was born on 19 November 1962 in Munich .[4] She studied chemistry at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 1981 to 1984 and chemistry with biochemistry at the University of Münster from 1985 to 1987.[2] She achieved a PhD at the University of Hamburg in 1991,[3] with a thesis on the inhibitors of fucose metabolism .[5]
She undertook her postdoctorate at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver , Canada from 1992, focusing on carbohydrates and dendrimers ,[5] before returning to Hamburg to earn her habilitation in 1998.[3]
Career
[ edit ]
In 2000, Lindhorst was appointed Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at Kiel University ; she was the first woman to hold the post since the Second World War .[6]
In 2015, Lindhorst was elected president of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) for the 2016–2017 term.[7] She was second women to hold the position in the society's 150-year history.[8]
As part of the society's anniversary commemorations in 2017, Lindhorst co-edited Unendliche Weiten: Kreuz und quer durchs Chemie-Universum , a book covering the implications of modern chemistry to everyday life, with Hans-Jürgen Quadbeck-Seeger .[8] [9] In August 2017, she wrote the editorial for Angewandte Chemie celebrating the GDCh's anniversary, noting chemistry's moral and ethical duties, and pushing for "a culture that has the well-being of the entire population and the planet in mind".[10]
Research
[ edit ]
Lindhorst is an expert in carbohydrate chemistry and has written over 150 research papers.[8] She has pioneered studies of multivalency in the glycosciences and the importance of the orientation of molecules on cell surfaces for biological recognition.[8] Her findings around molecule orientation have potential for anti-adhesion therapies and in antimicrobial drug development .[8]
Honours and awards
[ edit ]
In 1998, Lindhorst was awarded the chemistry prize of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Karl Ziegler funding award.[1] She also won the Carl Duisberg Memorial Prize [de ] in 2000.[1] [3]
In 2017, Lindhorst was one of 12 women given the IUPAC Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering award.[6] [8] She was also made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2017.[11]
Personal life
[ edit ]
Lindhorst has two children, born in 1991 and 1995.[8]
