Markus Delling earned his Masters of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry from University of Hamburg in Germany before pursuing a PhD in Neurobiology from the Centre for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH). Afterwards, he spent time as a postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Cardiology at the Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School and was a Pediatric Instructor of Cardiology at Boston Children’s Hospital before joining UCSF.
