Early life

Bartenschlager grew up in Mannheim. After high school, he worked as a policemen for four years before starting his undergraduate in biology in 1981 at Heidelberg University.[2] He conduced his thesis work with Heinz Schaller at the ZMBH in Heidelberg on the structure and functional role of the P-protein in Hepatitis B viruses. After graduating in 1990, he continued working as a postdoc at Heidelberg University until joining Hoffmann-La Roche in 1991, where he began working on Hepatitis C.[3]

He was a recipient of the 2016 Lasker Award for Clinical Research for discoveries related to hepatitis C virus, jointly with Charles M. Rice and Michael J. Sofia.[4][5]

gollark: `float.h` will just have everything set at, say, 3.
gollark: `fenv.h` seems like it's unimportant and can just be set randomly.
gollark: `<errno.h>`> For testing error codes reported by library functions. Pretty sure this is unnecessary as osmarkslibc cannot, in fact, fail.
gollark: `<ctype.h>`> Defines set of functions used to classify characters by their types or to convert between upper and lower case in a way that is independent of the used character set (typically ASCII or one of its extensions, although implementations utilizing EBCDIC are also known). osmarkslibc will ship the entire Unicode table in this header for purposes.
gollark: `complex.h`> A set of functions for manipulating complex numbers. What an oddly useful standard library feature. I'll use quaternions instead in osmarkslibc™ as they are better.
