Gabriele Berg (born 1963) is a biologist, biotechnologist and university lecturer in Environmental and Ecological Technology at the Technical University of Graz.
Her research emphasis is on the development of sustainable methods of plant vitalisation with Bioeffectors and molecular analysis of microbial processes in the soil, particularly in the Rhizosphere.
She was born in Potsdam, East Germany in 1963. After graduating from the Helmholtz-Gymnasium, Potsdam in 1981 Frau Berg studied biology at the University of Rostock. She graduated with honours (1986) and then spent a research study year in Microbiology and Biotechnology at the University of Greifswald. In 1995 she obtained the qualification Dr. rer nat with "magna cum laude" and in 2001 the Venia Legendi for Microbiology with her dissertation Antagonistic Micro-organisms. In 2003 she was awarded a Heisenberg-Stipendium by the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Community). In 2005 she became the first female professor of natural science at the Graz University of Technology.
