Bill Martin comes from Texas and moved to Germany in 1980. He majored in Botany at the University of Hannover, graduated in 1985 and finished his Ph.D. thesis in 1988 at the Max-Planck-Institute in Cologne under Heinz Saedler on molecular genetics and plant evolution. In 1989 he moved to Rüdiger Cerff's group at the Institute of Genetics of the University of Braunschweig to work on molecular evolution and endosymbiosis. In 1999 he received an appointment as professor of Botany at the University of Düsseldorf. Dr. Martin serves on numerous editorial and advisory boards and has published >170 original papers that have attracted over 6000 citations. His main scientific interests are endosymbiosis, early evolution, and the evolution of genes and genomes. |
