Index

Bernhard Michalke is leader of the research group "Elements and Element Speciation" and of the "Central Inorganic Analysis Division" as well as deputy director of the research unit "Analytical BioGeoChemistry" at the Helmholtz Center Munich - German Research Center for Environmental Health.
Since 1996 he has been lecturer at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry and Food Chemistry of the Technical University of Graz, Austria, where he received his habilitation in analytical chemistry in 1999. Since 1988, he is principal researcher at the Helmholtz Center Munich.
His reasearch interests encompass speciation projects related to environmental health, i.e. the exposure and chemical speciation of neuro-degenerative elements such as manganese and species related neuro-toxic effects in the central nervous system. He has published more than 170 peer reviewed articles and 10 book chapters. Since 1998, he has been co-organizer of several international conferences.
