Background
Jörg Enderlein was born in 1963 in Berlin. After studying physics at the Ilya-Mechnikov-University in Odessa, he received his PhD from Humboldt-University in Berlin in 1991. While during his PhD time he was mainly concerned with the physics and chemistry of non-linear reaction-diffusion systems, he turned his attention afterwards to the then newly developing field of single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging. After a post-doc stay in Dick Keller’s group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, he obtained his habilitation from Regensburg University in 2000. Becoming a Heisenberg-Fellow of the DFG, he established his own research group at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, and with a short detour as a Professor for Biophysical Chemistry at Eberhard-Karls University in Tübingen, he switched to his current position as Professor for Biophysics and Physics of Complex Systems at the 3rd Institute of Physics of the Georg-August University in late 2008.
