The IZEW congratulates Professor Vera Hemleben on her birthday!
Prof. Dr. Vera Hemleben belonged from the beginning to the discussion group "Ethics in the Natural Sciences", which was founded in 1985 and from which the "Centre for Ethics in the Sciences" emerged in 1990. As a geneticist who dealt with all aspects of molecular biological investigations on plants, she was also a pioneer in the promotion and supervision of interdisciplinary doctoral theses on ethical questions at the then Faculty of Biology in cooperation with the Ethics Centre.
