Andrew Ullmann (born 2 January 1963) is a German physician and politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Bavaria since 2017.[1]

Early life and career

Born in Los Angeles, Ullmann spent his childhood there until he moved to Germany with his family in 1972. After graduating from high school in 1981 at the Reichenbach-Gymnasium in Ennepetal, Germany, he attended medical school at Ruhr University Bochum and graduated in 1987.

During his time as a resident at the University Hospital at St. Josef Hospital in Bochum, Ullmann took part in clinical training at the Spellman Center for HIV-Related Disease at the 250-bed St Clare's Hospital, the only ward in New York State devoted to the comprehensive treatment of AIDS at the time.[2] At Harvard Medical School he participated in an Infectious Diseases combined-fellowship program for two years. In 2008, he became assistant professor (Privatdozent) at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany, and was appointed full-professor at the University Hospital of Würzburg, Germany, in 2012.

Political career

Ullmann joined the FDP in 2003. He became member of the Bundestag in the 2017 German federal election.[3] In parliament, he has since been a member of the Health Committee and the Sub-Committee on Global Health.[4] In this capacity, he is his parliamentary group's rapporteur on technology assessment.

In addition to his committee assignments, Ullmann is part of the German-American Parliamentary Friendship Group.

In 2020, Ullmann was also elected as a member of the city council in Würzburg.

In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the FDP following the 2021 federal elections, Ullmann was part of his party's delegation in the working group on health, co-chaired by Katja Pähle, Maria Klein-Schmeink and Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus.[5]
