Kerstin Lüdtke-Buzug was born in Lübeck, Germany, in 1963. She received her Diplom-Chemikerin degree from the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, Germany in 1990. In 1994 she received her Ph.D. from the Medical University of Lübeck where she worked on Synthesis and Electrochemical Investigations of Azosubstituted Porphyrins. Granted by the DAAD and the Universty of Aveiro she had a postdoctoral position at the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Aveiro, Portugal in 1995. In Aveiro she investigated b-Aminoporphyrins in the synthesis of new compounds with potential applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). From 1995 to 1997 she worked as freelance consultant in the field of environmental toxicology. In 1996 she passed a post gradual study at the Weiterbildung, Umwelt- und Kulturmanagement GmbH (WUK) in Kiel where she became "Referentin im Umweltschutz". From 1997 to mid 1999 she worked at the SKP group in Lübeck (Altroh GmbH) and Kiel (Rohstoffhandel Kiel RHK GmbH) at the quality-management department, responsible for audits requested by the DSD (German Recycling Program). Mid of 1999 she became member of the scientific staff at the RheinAhrCampus Remagen responsible for conceptional planning and set up of the chemistry laboratory. In spring 2001 she became lecturer of chemistry and head of the chemistry laboratory at the RheinAhrCampus Remagen. Since 2007 she is member of the scientific team at the Institute of Medical Engineering at the University of Luebeck. Scince 2013 she is consultant in the field of nanoparticle synthesis and applications for Nandatec a nano-biotechnology start-up.
