Frank Uhlmann FRS[1] is a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Education

Uhlmann was educated at the University of Tübingen where he was awarded a PhD in 1997.[8] During his PhD, he worked with Jerard Hurwitz at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.[9] [10] [11]

Career

Following his PhD, Uhlmann moved to the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna for postdoctoral research with Kim Nasmyth. In 2000, he established a laboratory at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (now Cancer Research UK)[12] in London, which ultimately became part of the Francis Crick Institute.[11]

Awards and honours

Uhlmann was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2015. His certificate of election reads:

In 2006, Uhlmann was also elected a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)[13] and awarded the EMBO Gold Medal.
