Dr. Tautz develops novel drugs targeting protein tyrosine phosphatases that are implicated in cancer, thrombosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Tautz earned his PhD in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of Karlsruhe (Germany) with Dr. Janos Retey in 2002. He continued his research at the Burnham Institute with Dr. Tomas Mustelin, first as a postdoc and later as a staff scientist. In 2009 Dr. Tautz joined the faculty of the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute.
