Dr. med. vet. Helmut Sterz (born 1946) began his scientific career after studying veterinary medicine in 1971 with a doctorate in virology, which was awarded a prize by Justus Liebig University in Giessen. Over the course of his career as a toxicologist in the pharmaceutical industry, he published numerous scientific articles. From 1974 to 1988, he headed the Department of Reproductive Toxicology at Boehringer Mannheim, improving techniques for assessing toxicity in pregnant laboratory animals and their offspring. Research teams at Heidelberg University adopted his methods, and international regulatory authorities approved their use for detecting side effects of new drugs. Since 1981, he has been a certified specialist veterinarian in pharmacology and toxicology. From 1988 to 1995, he headed the Toxicology Center of Servier in Orléans, France, where he introduced alternative animal models to better assess the risk of side effects of new molecules in humans. From 1995 to 2001, he led the Toxicology Center in Basel and ultimately the entire preclinical toxicology division of F. Hoffmann-La Roche. In 2001, Pfizer appointed him head of its two European toxicology centers in Amboise (France) and Sandwich (UK). In 2007, following the closure of the Amboise laboratory, he left the company and retired.
