Andreas Bockisch (born January 10, 1950 in Düsseldorf ) is a German nuclear medicine specialist , physicist and university professor . Until his retirement in 2016, he researched and taught at the University Hospital Essen and the University of Duisburg-Essen .

Live and act

family

Andreas Bockisch was born as the second son of the gynecologist Hubert Bockisch and his wife Christl (née Kindermann). He is married to the elementary school teacher Marianne Bockisch and has two children and two grandchildren.

Initial and continuing education

A. Bockisch passed his Abitur in 1969 at the Steinbart-Gymnasium in Duisburg . From 1969 to 1974 he studied physics at the University of Cologne , where, after completing his degree, from 1976 to 1984 he worked as a scientific assistant or employee at the I. Physikalisches Institut and in 1977 became a Dr. rer. nat. PhD (topic of the doctoral thesis: "Reorientation effect measurements in the stable straight mercury isotopes"). At the same time, he began studying human medicine at the University of Cologne in 1975 , which he completed in 1983. In 1984 he received his doctorate. med. with the topic "Frequency-specific examinations in computer audiometry".

From 1984 to 1988 A. Bockisch completed further training as a specialist in nuclear medicine at the University of Bonn . During a research stay in 1988 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville (TN, USA) he was able to carry out his first studies in the field of positron emission tomography (PET). In 1990 he completed his habilitation in nuclear medicine (subject of the habilitation thesis: "Radionuclide marking of human and animal spermatozoa and quantitative scintigraphy of spermatozoic kinetics in the genital tract of female rabbits after insemination"), and in the same year he was recognized as a medical physicist. In 1991 A. Bockisch accepted the call to the C3 professorship at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Nuclear Medicine at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz , where he was also the senior physician in charge, and from 1994 the managing director of the clinic.

University professor and researcher in Essen

From 1996 until his retirement in 2016 he held the chair ( C4 professorship ) for nuclear medicine and director of the Clinic for Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Essen , from 1999 to 2002 also acting director of the Institute for Medical Radiation Physics and 2013-2014 at the same time chief physician of the clinic for Nuclear medicine at the Bethesda Hospital in Duisburg . During his directorate, he expanded the Essen clinic into one of the most important nuclear medicine clinics in Germany - particularly in the field of thyroid cancer and multimodal imaging. After he was able to bring Germany's first PET / CT - the third clinical device worldwide - to Essen in 2001, another PET / CT was put into operation in 2009 and finally one of the first PET / MRIs in Germany in 2011 . For his services to the introduction of PET / CT in clinical diagnostics, he was awarded the X-ray plaque in 2011 . In addition, his clinic became the leading German center for selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) of malignant liver tumors.

In addition to his clinical and scientific work, he was vice dean of the medical faculty of the University of Duisburg-Essen , member of the supervisory board of the university hospital, from 2007 to 2009 president of the German Society for Nuclear Medicine , board member of a number of scientific specialist societies, long-standing member of the radiation protection commission of the federal government and Member of the editorial board of various national and international specialist journals.

Others

Andreas Bockisch is the author and co-author of over 600 original publications and book chapters in the fields of physics and medicine . He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts and the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .

research

The main research focus of Andreas Bockisch was the optimization of dose concepts in the radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases , in particular differentiated thyroid cancer , as well as hybrid imaging (combination of molecularly oriented nuclear medicine and anatomically oriented radiological imaging in a single device: especially PET / CT and PET / MRT ). His concept for the radioiodine dose calculation for the treatment of benign thyroid diseases has meanwhile been included in the German guidelines, as has the diagnostics and dosimetry with the positron emitter iodine -124 for differentiated thyroid carcinomas, which have been established in Essen for routine clinical use .

In close cooperation with the Institute for Radiology at the University Hospital, pioneering work in the field of hybrid imaging with various radiopharmaceuticals was carried out in Essen under Bockisch's directorate, which made a decisive contribution to the clinical acceptance and dissemination of PET / CT and, more recently, PET / MRT has been. In 2013, the German Society for Nuclear Medicine awarded him the George von Hevesy Medal for his diverse and continuous scientific achievements .
