Dr. Ho received his medical degree from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 1974, and then remained in Heidelberg for an additional 8 years to receive further training in internal medicine and hematology-oncology. He was appointed as Senior Physician at the University of Heidelberg in 1983 and promoted to Professor of Medicine in 1989. In 1990, he moved to North America and was appointed "Full Professor" of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, Canada, and Director of Research and Head of Clinical Trials at the Northeastern Ontario Regional Cancer Center. From 1992-1998, Dr. Ho held the position of Professor and Director of Bone Marrow Transplantation and the Malignant Hematology Program at the University of California, San Diego. He was then recruited back to his alma mater, the University of Heidelberg, where he is currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine V (Hematology, Oncology, and Rheumatology). His research focuses on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, mechanisms governing self-renewal of normal and leukemic stem cells, and the significance of the bone marrow niche.
