Gert Wörheide

German marine biologist

Gert Wörheide is a German marine biologist who works mainly on marine invertebrates. He earned his doctorate in geobiology from Georg-August-Universität, following this with a post-doctorate at Queensland Museum (1998-2002),[1] where he worked with John Hooper on sponges,[2][3][4][5][6] a collaboration which continues.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
