Bernhard F. Becker (1964) began his academic education at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia, before goint to Germany in 1966. He graduated in Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, receiving the degree of “Dr. rer. nat.” from the Faculty of Chemistry in 1974 with a thesis on electrochemical organic syntheses. In 1975 he joined the Department of Physiology of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich, where he also finished training as an MD in 1981. In 1991 he gained the degree of “Dr. med. habil.” from the Medical Faculty and was appointed to “Privat Dozent” by the Government of Bavaria. Interests in the field of physiological medicine have ranged from studies of transport, across the erythrocyte membrane (Na+Li+ countertransport, anionic cation transport), chronic and acute effects of nicotine on cardiac and blood platelet function, the regulation of coronary blood flow (particulary the role of adenosine and of endothelium mediated effects), to purine metabolism in the heart and lung. More recently, cardioprotection (ACE-inhibitors, antioxidants), and the role of PMNS in myocardial stunning have become central themes.
