Gerhard Meisenberg was born in Germany. He worked on his doctoral thesis at the Max Planck Institute in Munich, Germany. In 1981, he was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Munich. In 1982, he conducted postdoctoral research centered on the behavioral effect of neuropeptides at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, IL.
In 1984, Dr. Meisenberg joined Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica as an assistant professor in the department of biochemistry where he is still active as a professor teaching biochemistry.
His medical research work has touched multiple topics including attitudes of medical students to human genetic engineering, cross-cultural studies about attitudes, values, and research on rising IQ scores in Dominica.
Controversy
Gerhard Meisenberg is the editor-in-chief of Mankind Quarterly, a peer reviewed scientific journal dedicated to physical and cultural anthropology which, according to critics, endorses scientific racism and eugenics. He is a professor of physiology and biochemistry at Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica.
Even though his name is not included in the editorial list published by Elsevier , various sources claim that Meisenberg is on the editorial board for the journal Intelligence. According to Wired, a letter Meisenberg sent to Nature advocated for eugenics or genetic engineering to be considered for groups where a genetic difference in intelligence is found.
Angela Saini, in an opinion for The Guardian, has said that Meisenberg's views race and intelligence are "unsupported by evidence, generally receive little to no attention from within the everyday scientific community".
