Immo N. Fiebrig received his bachelor´s degree in pharmaceutical sciences at Munich University LMU in 1991, to become a licensed pharmacist shortly afterwards. This was followed by a PhD in physical biochemistry at the University of Nottingham, UK. His work experience outside academia comprised a position as deputy manager of a German chemist and organic food shop, as monitor of clinical studies in the pharmaceutical industry, head of department of a pharmaceutical database publisher and healthcare project manager in an advertising agency. For the 12 years that followed, Immo worked as a freelance service provider for the healthcare publishing industries and as a project manager in pharmaceutical development.
