Carsten Flohr was born in Hannover, Germany, on 2 October 1968. He attended the Matthias-Claudius Gymnasium Gehrden, where he won the prestigious Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes prize, awarded to the top 1% of German secondary school graduates. Following a gap year in Taipei and Shanghai, Carsten Flohr co-enrolled in Medicine and Chinese Studies at Göttingen University, Germany, where he completed his pre-clinical studies with a distinction in 1993 and also later graduated with an MA in Chinese Studies (2000). Carsten Flohr then moved to Trinity College at Cambridge University to undertake a Master of Philosophy in the History of Medicine (1995), before moving to Balliol College at Oxford University to complete his clinical medical studies (1995–1998). He then trained in general medicine, paediatrics and dermatology in Oxford, Newcastle and Nottingham between 1998 and 2003, before being awarded the John Radcliffe Senior Research Fellowship from University College Oxford. This took him to study the links between helminth parasites and allergic disease at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam (2004–2007), showing that gut parasites protect against allergic disease, one important reason why allergies are now so common in affluent country settings. While in Vietnam, Flohr also undertook a Masters of Science in Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
