**Beate Sodeik** is a German cell biologist who is Professor of Medical Sciences at the [Hannover Medical School](/source/Hannover_Medical_School). Her research considers the biology of viral infections, with a particular focus on [Herpes simplex virus](/source/Herpes_simplex_virus).

## Early life and education

Sodeik was an undergraduate student in the [University of Bonn](/source/University_of_Bonn), where she studied biology. She earned a Diploma in Cell Biology, where she analysed [autophagy](/source/Autophagy) in *[Amoeba proteus](/source/Amoeba_proteus)*.[1] After graduating, she received a [DAAD scholarship](/source/DAAD_scholarship), and moved to the [Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons](/source/Columbia_University_Vagelos_College_of_Physicians_and_Surgeons).[1] During her time at Columbia, Sodeik worked on integrin receptors of human neutrophils. She was a doctoral student in [cell biology](/source/Cell_biology) at the [European Molecular Biology Laboratory](/source/European_Molecular_Biology_Laboratory) in [Heidelberg University](/source/Heidelberg_University). Her research considered the assembly of the *[Vaccina virus](/source/Vaccina_virus)* (cowpox).[2] After earning her doctorate, Sodeik returned to the [United States](/source/United_States), where she joined [Ari Helenius](/source/Ari_Helenius) at [Yale University](/source/Yale_University). At Yale, Sodeik studied the early phases of [Herpes simplex virus](/source/Herpes_simplex_virus).[1]

## Research and career

Sodeik was made a Senior Scientist at [Hannover Medical School](/source/Hannover_Medical_School) in 1997. She completed her habilitation in the cell biology of [DNA viruses](/source/DNA_virus) and the maturation of *[Vaccinia](/source/Vaccinia)*.[3] She was eventually promoted to Professor.[when?][citation needed] Since starting her postdoctoral research, Sodeik has explored the cell biology of Herpes simplex virus.[4] She is interested in virus-host interactions, virus assembly and viral replication.[1]
