Objective
I am very enthousiastic about Dr. Roger Godschak's capacities as a researcher and I regard him as one of my finest PhD students ever. I got to know him as an undergraduate student of Biological Health Science at my university, and later on, during his internship at our Department. At this stage, he already stood out among his fellow-students because of his aptitude to acquire new knowledge and insights very quickly, his skillfulness in the lab, and his ability of interfering socially with his colleagues at the Department. He graduated as a top- ranking student of Biological Health Science, obtaining the qualification"cum laude as one of the few of his year. Subsequently, as a PhD student he appeared capable of developing his skills fully. His PhD-project involved the assessment of DNA adduct analysis as a reliable biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and comprised the full range of studies with human ceils in vitro, with rodents as well as with ambulant humans. The state-of-the-art methodology in DNA adduct measurement is ^32P-postlabeling technique which is however also difficut and time-cansuming. Roger Godschalk handled this technique very well, and appeared capable on contributing to this field of DNA dosimetry considerably as is apparent from his many publications in high ranking international scientific journals and his performances at international symposia. Again, this readiness to learn from other scientific disciplines, his speed in producing data, - also using other methods such as immunochemistry and HPLC techniques - and papers, and his capacity to motivate others, appeared really remarkable, and made him outstanding among his peers. It was my profound wish that upon his PhD-graduation Roger Godschalk should travel abroad and acquire a post doc position at a highly qualified lab and develop his scientific skills at the international level. Therefore, I was very glad and deeply
