BIO

Alexander Tups pursued his academic journey in Biology, initially studying at the Heinrich Heine University of Duesseldorf and the Philipps University of Marburg. He earned a Diploma in Biology at the latter institution, focusing on Animal Physiology, Genetics, and Developmental Biology. He further advanced his education through a Marie Curie and Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Scholarship, undertaking a Ph.D. at the Rowett Research Institute, one of the UK's leading nutrition research centres and the Philipps University of Marburg. In 2005 he graduated with "summa cum laude (highest distinction) " for his research on the neuroendocrine mechanism that regulates seasonal body weight. Following his Ph.D., Alexander Tups served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Otago from 2006-2008. In recognition of his potential, he received a prestigious junior group leader grant in nutrition research from the German Ministry of Education and Research in 2007, amounting to €1,500,000. This grant allowed him to establish an independent research group called 'neuronal nutrition physiology' at the Philipps University of Marburg, where he explored the impact of nutrient sensing in the brain on the regulation of body weight and glucose homeostasis as one of the youngest independent group leaders in Germany. From 2012-2014 in addition to his group leader role he was Head of Department for Animal Physiology at this institution before he was appointed at the University of Otago in 2014 in Physiology. Throughout his career, Alex Tups has contributed significantly to his field, publishing 48 peer reviewed research papers, the vast majority as lead author. His research has contributed to our understanding of how the brain controls body weight and blood sugar levels. His work has been internationally recognized with notable awards, such as the Michael Harbuz Price in neuroendocrine research in the UK in 2009, the Ernst and Berta Sharrer Award in Germany in 2014, the Commercialisation Researcher Award at Otago University in 2023 and the Research Excellence Price by the Physiological Society of New Zealand in 2023.
