Christiane was born on 20 October 1942. She was born under the zodiac sign of Libra and she was born in Magdeburg in Germany. She completed her education from the University of Tubingen and she completed her <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Philosophy">Ph.D.</a> in 1974. The research topic of her thesis was Protein – DNA Interaction and she also did research on RNA polymerase. There is no information available about her parents but it is known that her childhood was spent in Germany.

Talking about Christiane’s career, she did many types of research on the identification of genes which were involved in the developmental process of a fruit fly. During that era, there was very little information available about the development and evolution of the multi-cell organism.

It is known that during her research, she widely mutated the portions of the DNA of a fruit fly to understand the DNA and the changes that can be bought by mutating the DNA. After making an observation about each mutation, she along with her team mapped the DNA and the component responsible for the development of an organism.

It is known that the method used by Christiane takes a lot of time and effort and that is the reason why she was widely appreciated for her efforts and contribution. The research also helped in establishing various facts about the evolution. Christiane also found out about toll which is basically the receptors. It is known that her theories later formed the basis for modern science theory in which she helped in the discovery of genes associated with the development of human.

In 1985, it was reported that Christiane started working at Max Planck Institute for developmental Biology and she was working as the director of the organization. It is known that she also took the lead of Genetics Department of the organization.

Later, in 2001, she was requested to join National Ethics Council of Germany. She readily accepted the offer. The core job of the council was to determine the ethical background of developments in life science. The council ensured that the new developments didn’t have any bad impact on society or the person.

It is also known that Christiane laid the foundation of an NGO which basically helps the scientist who has children. The organization is known to provide childcare free of cost along with a day care facility so that the female scientists can concentrate on their work without being worried about their children. The organization is of great help to many people.

Christiane had been married since a long time but the name of her husband is not known. There is no information available about her annual salary or about her net worth. But as per an estimate, she has a really high net worth because of her groundbreaking researchers in the field of genetics. She received a lot of awards during her lifetime like she won the Nobel Prize in 1995 and she won the award for Medicine. She was also honored with Albert Lasker Award and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Award.
