Sobotta Atlas of Anatomy, Vol. 2, 17th ed., English/Latin

2003 und 2004 verbrachte er einen neunmonatigen Forschungsaufenthalt an der University of California in Davis bei Professor Fitz-Roy Curry. Von 2008 an war er Inhaber des neu gegründeten Lehrstuhls III an der Universität Würzburg, bevor er an die Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München berufen wurde. Dort leitet er seit 2011 an der Anatomischen Anstalt den Lehrstuhl I für Vegetative Anatomie. Jens Waschke engagiert sich in der Anatomischen Gesellschaft als Prüfer für den Fachanatom sowie in der Lehrkommission und leitet die Arbeitsgruppe zur Reduktion der Formaldehydbelastung. Er ist Repräsentant der IFAA (International Federation of Associations of Anatomists) und Ehrenmitglied der Anatomical Society of Ethiopia (ASE). In seiner Forschung untersucht er vor allem zellbiologische Mechanismen, die die Haftung zwischen Zellen und die Schrankenfunktionen an den äußeren und inneren Barrieren des menschlichen Körpers kontrollieren. Hier stehen zum einen die Regulation der Endothelbarriere bei Entzündungen und daneben die Mechanismen, die bei Erkrankungen wie der blasenbildenden Hauterkrankung Pemphigus, bei Morbus Crohn und bei Kardiomyopathien zu einer gestörten Zellhaftung führen, im Zentrum des Interesses. Ziel ist es, die Zellhaftung besser zu verstehen und neue Therapieansätze zu entdecken.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Klonisch Professor Thomas Klonisch studied human medicine at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Justus-Liebig-Universität (JLU) Giessen. He completed his doctoral thesis at the Institute of Biochemistry at the Faculty of Medicine of the JLU Giessen before joining the Institute of Medical Microbiology, University of Mainz (1989-1991). As an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow he joined the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, from 1991-1992 and, in 1993-1994, continued his research at the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, Ontario. From 1994-1996, he joined the immunoprotein engineering group at the Department of Immunology, University College London, UK, as a senior research fellow. From 1996-2004 he was a scientific associate at the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, where he received his accreditation as anatomist (1999), completed his habilitation (2000), and held continuous national research funding. In 2004, he was appointed Full Professor and Head at the Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science (HACS) at the College of Medicine, Faculty of Health Science, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, where he was the Dept. Head until 2019. He remains a Professor at HACS and is currently the director of the Histology Services and Ultrastructural Imaging Platform. His research areas include mechanisms employed by cancer stem/ progenitor cells to enhance tissue invasiveness and survival strategies in response to anticancer treatments. A particular focus is the role of endocrine factors, such as the relaxin-like ligand-receptor system, in promoting carcinogenesis.

Prof. Dr. Sabine Hombach-Klonisch Teaching clinically relevant anatomy and clinical case-based anatomy learning are the main teaching focus of Sabine Hombach-Klonisch at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Manitoba. Since her appointment in 2004, Professor Hombach has been nominated annually for teaching awards by the Manitoba Medical Student Association (MMSA) and received the MMSA award for teaching in the small group setting in 2020 and 2021. Sabine Hombach graduated from Medical School at the Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen in 1991 and successfully completed her doctoral thesis in 1994. Following a career break to attend to her two children she re-engaged as a sessional lecturer at the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology of the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg in 1997 and received a post-doctoral fellowship by the province of Saxony-Anhalt from 1998-2000. Thereafter, she joined the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology as a scientific associate. Professor Hombach received her accreditation as anatomist in 2003 by the German Society of Anatomists and by the Medical Association of Saxony-Anhalt and completed her habilitation at the Medical Faculty of the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg in 2004. In 2004, Professor Hombach was appointed to the Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science, Faculty of Medicine of the University of Manitoba. Appointed as department head in January 2020, she strongly promotes postgraduate clinical anatomy training for residents. Her main research interests are in the field of breast and brain cancer. Her focus is to identify the molecular mechanisms that regulate metastasis and cell survival under treatment stress. She employs unique cell and animal models and human primary cells to study the influence of the tumor microenvironment on brain metastatic growth.
