Gert Wörheide is a German marine biologist who works mainly on marine invertebrates. He earned his doctorate in geobiology from Georg-August-Universität, following this with a post-doctorate at Queensland Museum (1998-2002),[1] where he worked with John Hooper on sponges,[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] a collaboration which continues.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Following his postdoctorate in Queensland, Wörheide returned to Germany to become a junior professor in molecular geobiology at Georg-August-Universität (2002-2008), and in October 2008 was appointed Chair of Geobiology & Paleontology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (University of Munich) (his current position), where he continues to work on evolution and genomics,[13] [14] [15] [16] and all things pertaining to marine invertebrates.[17] [18] [19] His most cited paper with 559 citations (at 2020-09-29) is "Resolving Difficult Phylogenetic Questions: Why More Sequences Are Not Enough".[20]
