Since 1964 he is a staff member in the pediatric clinic of the University Hamburg. 1968 Privatdozent, 1973 Professor of pediatrics, head of the division for pediatric nephrology. His main research interest is in immunopathology in kidney diseases, in immunoinflammatory disorders and in immunoinsufficiency. Studies in immunoreactive diseases of gastrointestinal tract were performed in a close collaboration with Prof. Schäfer.
