🔹Rainer Haas was born on July 26, 1955, in Stuttgart, and he spent his school years in Karlsruhe. From 1975 to 1981, he studied medicine at Ruprecht-Karls University in Heidelberg and completed his doctorate at the Department of Clinical Pharmacology.
🔹The beginning of his medical specialty training in Internal Medicine took him to the University Hospital in Mainz, Department of Endocrinology, in 1982.
🔹He returned to Heidelberg in 1984 to the former University Polyclinic, thanks to a scholarship from the Mildred-Scheel Foundation, where he conducted research on hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow until 1985 during a research stay at the Ontario Cancer Institute in Toronto.
🔹After his return to Heidelberg, he worked as a Senior Physician and Coordinator of the Transplantation Program until his appointment to Düsseldorf in 1991. In keeping with the tradition of his predecessors, Prof. Haas will continue to work on new therapeutic approaches in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at Heinrich-Heine University.
🔹In addition, research projects for gene therapy initiated in 1995 in the clinical cooperation unit for molecular hematology and oncology at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), which he led, will be continued. In addition to clinical care, Prof. Haas is particularly dedicated to the training of young academics.
