Dr. Wolf was visiting scientist at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, United

studied homeopathic potencies with physical methods such as nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma
mass spectroscopy. From 1999 to 2001 she was Postdoctoral Research Associate at
the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics, Department of Physics at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, where she employed state of the art frequency
domain near infrared spectroscopy instrumentation to directly and non-invasively
measure neuronal activity and to study the vascularisation of muscle. In 1995 she
received her MD degree with magna cum laude from the Albert-Ludwig-University
Freiburg, Germany. Thus, beside a thorough education in clinical medicine with
diploma in family medicine, sonography and anthroposophic medicine, she also has
pursued a career in research.

proceedings articles, one book chapter, 5 health technology assessments and 41
presentations at conferences. She has been a reviewer of several journals,
conferences and for the European Commission FP7 Health Theme. Nationally and
internationally she is in the board of several professional societies and organization
