Using modern biochemical and molecular biology techniques, experimental research focuses on foundations and innovations in the endocrine and paracrine regulation of human health and animal health &#038; welfare. Besides the traditional signal transmission, the extracellular vesicle biology represent a key aspect of his research. The focus is on the development of nucleic acid-based signatures as biomarkers for non-physiological or pathological conditions.\n\nProf. Pfaffl started 1986 to study \u2018Agriculture &#038; Animal Science\u2019 and \u2018Biotechnology\u2019 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). In 1997 he obtained his PhD in the field of molecular muscle and growth physiology at the Chair of Physiology. In June 2003 he completed his Venia Legendi (Dr. habil.) in \u2018Physiology\u2019 at the Center of Life and Food Sciences Weihenstephan. Early 2010 he became Professor of \u2018Molecular Physiology\u2019 at the TUM School of Life Sciences in Freising Weihenstephan.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-736d9ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"736d9ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">AWARDS<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa4063d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa4063d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Milk Scientific Innovation Award (2019)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tum.de\/en\/about-tum\/awards-and-honors\/awards-presented-by-the-tum\/maier-leibnitz-medal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TUM Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Medal<\/a>\u00a0(2019) \u00a0<\/li><li>TUM Graduate School Weihenstephan &#8211; Best PhD Supervisor Award (2018)<\/li><li>SciVerse Scopus Award (2012)<\/li><li>Habilitation Award from the H.
