He has been Head of the ENT-Department at the Saarland University since June 2008, and is now Medical Director of Uniklinikum Saarland and CEO.
During a 20 year period extensive studies have been performed on juvenile angiofibromas, from genetic and molecular studies to clinical evaluations including radiological tumor presentation, surgical strategies and development of an etiological model describing tumor genesis.
