As a consequence he is almost equally familiar with French, German, Romantsch Ladin and English. Following medical studies in Bern, he trained in internal medicine with special concentration on autoimmune diseases, gastro-hepatology and clinical pharmacology. From 1984 on, he performed full-time experimental research in the field of molecular immunology, first at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) and then at the Ludwig Institute, both in Epalinges near Lausanne. In 1989, he became research group leader in the Neuro-endocrinology Unit of the Section for Clinical and Experimental Research of the University of Berne, and from 1991 to July 1997, he was responsible for the Neurobiology Laboratory at the Kantonsspital Basel. His research in Basel focussed on autoimmune demyelinating diseases of the peripheral and central nervous systems, e.g. Multiple Sclerosis and autoimmune neuropathies. The approaches involved cDNA cloning and studying the expression of particular receptors of the protein tyrosine kinase family and of adhesion molecules which could be involved in myelin maintenance and/or synaptic connectivity. In 1998, Miescher was appointed "maître assistant" in neurobiology at the Biochemistry Institute of the University of Fribourg. He joined the Swiss Science Council staff in 1999. He and his wife, an immunologist, have three children. SOURCE: http://www.unisi.it/ammin/newsletter/comunicati/century/brieff.htm AND http://www.swtr.ch/swtr_ger/miescher.htm |
