Prof. Bernhard Lämmle

---

Prof. Bernhard Lämmle has been the director of the Department of Hematology and the Central Hematology Laboratory at Inselspital, University hospital, Bern, Switzerland and full professor of hematology at the University of Bern until July 2013 when he retired from public office at the age of 65 years. Since September 2013 he acts as a guest professor and senior consultant at the Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis, University Medical Center Mainz. His broad medical interest concerns many clinical, laboratory diagnostic and basic research questions in the field of hematology, hemostasis and thrombosis with a special focus on the thrombotic microangiopathies including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and the metalloprotease ADAMTS13. Bernhard Lämmle has authored more than 280 publications and was invited to give many educational, state-of-the-art and plenary lectures at various international congresses. In July 2017 he was awarded with the ISTH Distiguished Career Award. At the CTH Mainz he supports existing research goups and and acively paricipates in education and promotion of young researchers and clinician-scientists.

Together with Dr. von Auer (Medical Dept. III) Prof. Lämmle works on the Translational Research Project 'Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura'.
