Born in 1956 in Klagenfurt, Austria. Both parents, Johann Moser and Rosa Herzog, were teachers. He became interested in chemistry and technology at an early age, but also in philosophy, psychology and the world of forms in life. As a trainee in the laboratories of Chemie Linz AG and later BASF in Ludwigshafen, he learned about the real effects of chemistry on nature and the environment and gives up his childhood dream of studying chemistry. From 1974 he studied biology and medicine at the University of Graz. Immersion in the lively intellectual life of the Graz cultural scene ("Steirischer Herbst", "Steirische Akademie", student hostel "Leechburg") in the 1970s and 1980s shaped his interest and enthusiasm for art and culture for the rest of his life and gave rise to the need to combine art and science biographically. Personal encounters with great people such as the artist Hugo Kückelhaus, the social critics Ivan Illich, Margrit and Declan Kennedy and Leopold Kohr, the chronobiologists Gunther Hildebrandt and Wolfgang Schad, the physicians Thomas Kenner, Hans Schäfer and Heinrich Schipperges, the theologians and philosophers Egon Kapellari and Heimo Begusch raise scepticism about a flat belief in progress and the mania for feasibility in modern natural sciences and medicine. Development policy study trips to Egypt, Mexico and Tanzania as well as research stays in the USA strengthened this scepticism. During his time as a civilian servant at the Austrian Information Service for Development Policy, Maximilian Moser, after meeting Pat Mooney in 1987, founded a seed organisation for old varieties of fruit, vegetables and cereals, which in 1990 became Noah's Ark, https://www.arche-noah.at, today the largest private seed bank in Europe, with 8,000 old varieties and 6,000 members. At the Physiological Institute of Graz University, Moser supervised three of the eleven medical experiments of the AUSTROMIR space project in 1991 with a team of 20 young scientists - and developed new high-precision measuring instruments for chronobiology and health measurement with his working group. In 1999 he founded the medical division of Joanneum Research, a renowned Austrian research institution, as the Institute for Non-invasive Diagnostics. Moser is currently a professor at the Medical University of Graz and heads the Human Research Institute he founded in Weiz (www.humanresearch.at). He is particularly interested in human chronobiology - the biological rhythms in the human body, as well as the organism's ability to stay healthy or become healthy again under its own power. Maximilian Moser is a (mostly) happy father of three daughters and two sons. At the moment he is co-creating a program for children to get involved in nature activities like the music of trees. https://www.friendshipwithnature.com/
