Peter Metz was born in 1953 in Wuppertal, Germany. He studied chemistry at the University of Münster, where he received his Diploma (1979) and PhD degree (1983) under the guidance of H. J. Schäfer. After a postdoctoral research stay with B. M. Trost (1983-1984; University of Wisconsin-Madison), he returned to Münster and completed his habilitation in 1991. Following temporary full professorships at the University of Hamburg (1992-1993), the University of Kiel (1994) and the TU Dresden (1996), he became a full professor at the TU Dresden (1997). His research interest covers the total synthesis of biologically active natural products and their analogs, as well as the development of novel methods and strategies for stereoselective synthesis.
