    Biography

    Heiko studied Biology at the Ulm University and the Universidad de Costa Rica. In 1999, Günter Gerlach introduced him to the fascinating world of orchid bees and neotropical orchids. Since then, Heiko has studied the pollination biology of orchids and other plants pollinated by orchid bees in tropical America. After working as a lecturer in Germany and Mexico, he became curator of the Jany Renz orchid collection at the University of Basel. At present, he is employed as the head of the medicinal plant cultivations and the pharmacognosy laboratory of the company Dr. Willmar Schwabe. In his free time, he travels to the tropics to pursue his scientific interest and to publish studies about pollination biology.
