Fascinated from a young age by researchers and conservationists like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, Fabien grew up dreaming of studying wildlife and uncovering the medicinal potential of nature. Today, he lives his dream by combining fieldwork, laboratory research, and community collaboration to study how both humans and animals use plants, fungi, and other natural resources for medicine\u2014all in a truly interdisciplinary way.<\/p>\n<p>A Fulbright alumnus, Fellow of The Explorers Club, and recipient of The Explorers Club Flag Award and the EC50 \u2013 Fifty People Changing the World recognition, Fabien has spent years in Uganda, Tanzania, Germany, and beyond studying traditional medicine practices and animal self-medication. He has also co-founded ARUDEVO, a community-focused initiative in rural Uganda, and actively develops projects that return knowledge and tangible benefits to the communities he collaborates with.<\/p>\n<p>As head of the E&amp;Z JRG, Fabien balances leading cutting-edge research with mentoring the next generation of scientists. He supports group members\u2019 career development by providing hands-on experience in fieldwork, laboratory studies, and project design, while fostering independent thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical research practices. At the same time, he continues to pursue his own research interests, from studying neuroactive and anti-inflammatory compounds to exploring alternative therapies against multidrug-resistant pathogens, ensuring that both the team and the group\u2019s scientific discoveries continue to thrive.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Professional Roles&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231b330d&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Principal investigator and group leader, E&amp;Z JRG \u2013 Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine<\/li>\n<li>Early career researcher representative \/ Board member \u2013 International Society for Ethnopharmacology (ISE)<\/li>\n<li>External consultant \u2013 Pangea Bio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Affiliations&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%231b330d&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]International Society for Ethnopharmacology, The Explorers Club, American Society of Pharmacognosy, Association for Visual Pedagogies, GA &#8211; Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research, Africa Workgroup of the GA &#8211; Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research, African Phytomedicine Scientific Society, INPST &#8211; International Natural Product Sciences Taskforce, DBG \u2013 German Society for Plant Sciences, Society of Ethnobotany, Society of Ethnobiology, African Rural Development Volunteers[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;view Dr. Schultz\u2019s full CV&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_text=&#8221;#666666&#8243; link=&#8221;url:%23&#8243; el_class=&#8221;btn-tranpt&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;dr-bnr&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1765826965387{background-image: url(https:\/\/dla-dev.com\/ethnopharmacology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Group-38.png?id=157) !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;ABOUT&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Dr. Fabien Schultz&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Principal investigator and junior research group leader.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;125&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; el_class=&#8221;down-img&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;sec1-dr&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;biography&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%231b330d&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;txt&#8221;]Dr. Fabien Schultz leads the Ethnopharmacology and Zoopharmacognosy Junior Research Group (E&amp;Z JRG) at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) in Hamburg, Germany.
