Prof. Dr. Katschinski
Editor-in-Chief: Professor Doerthe Katschinski
Dr Katschinski is a professor of physiology and director of the Institute of Cardiovascular Physiology at the Georg-August University Göttingen, Germany.
Dr Katschinski is a graduate of the University of Lübeck and received her MD and PD in physiology from the medical faculty. She completed her residency in oncology in Lübeck and a fellowship at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, University Wisconsin, USA. Subsequently, she specialized in physiology. Since 2006 Dr Katschinski has been a member of the medical faculty of the University of Göttingen. She is serving as the vice director of the Heart Center, Göttingen, and she is co-chairing the European HypoxiaNet COST Action, a platform that coordinates and strengthens basic research on hypoxia signalling pathways, accelerating scientific progress on the levels of basic science, technology, pharmacology and translational medicine.
In her research she focuses on a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of hypoxia sensing, signalling and adaptation to exploit this signalling pathway for therapeutic applications in cardiovascular medicine and oncology. Insufficient tissue oxygenation (hypoxia) occurs in a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions, including embryonic development, wound healing, anemia, inflammation, cancer, and ischemic diseases such as infarction and stroke
Prof. Dr. Wenger
Institute of Physiology, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Prof. Dr. Wenger
Associate Editor: Professor Roland Wenger
Dr Wenger is a professor of physiology and director of the Institute of Physiology at the University of Zürich, Switzerland. He graduated in chemistry and received his diploma in biochemistry (1987) and PhD in molecular biology (1990) from the University of Bern (Switzerland). Following a post-doctoral fellowship of the Max-Planck-Society at the Max-Planck-Institute for Immunobiology (Freiburg, Germany) from 1990 to 1993, he became senior scientist at the Institute of Physiology, University of Zürich, where he habilitated and obtained his PD in Physiology (1999). He was university lecturer at the University of Lübeck, Germany until 2001 and associate professor at the University of Leipzig, Germany until 2003, before he became full professor of physiology at the University of Zürich. He has been a member of the medical faculty since 2003 and of the Faculty of Science since 2004 of the University of Zürich, and was vice dean of the medical faculty from 2007-2012.
Dr Wenger chaired the HypoxiaNet COST Action of the European Community (2009-2013) and is a management committee member of the COST Action Gasotransmitters since 2013. He is associate editor of BMC Physiology and editorial advisor of the Biochemical Journal. Dr Wenger heads the Cellular Oxygen Physiology research group which explores the molecular mechanisms and therapeutical consequences of cellular sensing, signalling and adaptation to changing oxygen availability.

Dr Evans
Launch Editor: Dr Colin Evans
Dr Evans obtained a BSc in Exercise Sciences from the University of Birmingham (2004-2006) and a PhD in Cardiovascular Medicine from King’s College London (2007-2010). His postdoctoral training was carried out with Prof Randall Johnson at the University of California San Diego and subsequently at the University of Cambridge (2011-2015). In 2016, Dr Evans was awarded a Parke Davis Fellowship by the University of Cambridge to continue his research as Visiting Scholar in the Center for Lung and Vascular Biology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr Evans studies mechanisms that regulate the associations between hypoxia, thrombosis, and inflammatory vascular diseases. His sources of funding have included the British Heart Foundation, the British Society for Haematology, and Thrombosis UK.
