Journal of Clinical and Experimental Genetics

Dr. Stefan Hiendleder is currently working as Professor in University of Adelaide, Australia. He studied Agricultural/Animal Science at Justus-Liebig University (JLU) of Giessen, Germany where he obtained a PhD in 1989. He was appointed Assistant Professor Animal Breeding and Genetics at JLU in 1990. After sabbaticals at the Academy of Sciences, Kazakhstan (1991) and the University of Saskatchewan, Canada he obtained a habilitation degree in Animal Genetics (Dr.agr.habil.) in 1996. He worked at JLU as Associate Professor until joining the Molecular Animal Breeding and Biotechnology Group at the Gene Center of the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) in Munich, Germany.
