Overview

Reinhard Ziegler is affiliated with Heidelberg University in Germany and conducts research primarily in the field of Medicine. Their work focuses on several subfields including Pharmacology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Genetics, and Immunology.

The scientist's research topics broadly cover areas such as Dermatology and Skin Diseases, Ginger and Zingiberaceae research, Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, and Diabetes Treatment and Management. Additional specialization includes Diabetes Management and Research, Diabetes and associated disorders, and Toxin Mechanisms and Immunotoxins.

Ziegler's recent publications demonstrate a focus on both clinical and biochemical approaches to treat inflammatory and metabolic conditions. Notable papers include:

  • An oil-in-water emulsion containing a combination of ginger extract and synthetic cannabidiol with potent in vitro anti-inflammatory effects alleviates symptoms of atopic dermatitis in a clinical trial (2024, European Journal of Dermatology)
  • Strukturierte und produktneutrale rtCGM-Schulung von Jugendlichen mit Typ-1-Diabetes mit SPECTRUM: Ergebnisse der multizentrischen prospektiven CGM-TRAIN-Studie (2021, Diabetologie und Stoffwechsel)
  • A combination of Zingiber officinale root extract and cannabidiol exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects and ameliorates clinical symptoms of atopic dermatitis (2023, Planta Medica)
  • Feasibility and Acceptability of the "About Me" Care Card as a Tool for Engaging Older Adults in Conversations About Cognitive Impairment (2025, The Annals of Family Medicine)
  • Long-term Progressive Improvement of Atopic Dermatitis by an Herbal Emollient Plus Combination in a 12-week Clinical Trial (2025, Acta Dermato Venereologica)

The frequent co-authors collaborating with Ziegler include Christine Neubauer, Kathrin Moritz, Christoph Abels, Martin Kragl, and T. Braun. This indicates active participation in collaborative research projects across their fields of study.

The main publication venues for Reinhard Ziegler's work are:

  • European Journal of Dermatology
  • Diabetologie und Stoffwechsel
  • Planta Medica
