Doris Wedlich gained her PhD in zoology at the Westfälische-Wilhelms-Universität of Münster. She carried out her postdoctoral training at the Max-Planck-Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, before directing her first research group at the Free University Berlin at the Institute for Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. In 1992 she was appointed Full Professor for Biochemistry at the University of Ulm and has been Full Professor and Head of the Institute for Zoology at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) since 2001. Today, Professor Wedlich's research is centered on Wnt-signaling and the regulation of cell adhesion as well as on the molecular processes of tumor invasion.
