Björn Brücher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Björn Lucas Dietrich Maria Brücher (born September 20, 1965 in Germersheim ) is a German physician , surgeon and tumor researcher . Brücher is committed to interdisciplinary education and training and is the founding editor of the new, interdisciplinary open access science journal called 4open , together with the science publisher EDP Sciences. In 2014 he published a new hypothesis on cancer development .

Life

After graduating from the Goethe-Gymnasium Germersheim in 1985 , he studied medicine at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and at the University of Oxford as well as in Bradford and Edinburgh. In 1993 he received his doctorate in human medicine. He completed his surgery training under Jörg Rüdiger Siewert at the Technical University of Munich with a habilitation in 2003; Brücher's tumor biological research was carried out u. a. at the Helmholtz Center Munich and the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston , Texas , USA .

Act

In 2008, Brücher founded the Theodor Billroth Academy with a global research network and consortium to improve medical training and further education and research.

In 2006 he became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and in 2008 Professor of Surgery in Tübingen in 2008 . In 2009 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England . In 2012 he became an honorary member of the Israeli Society for Tumor Surgery ISSO (Israeli Society of Surgical Oncology). Since 2013 he has been Ambassador for the European Association of Cancer Research and Professor of Ethical Leadership at New Westminster College in Vancouver , Canada . He has been at the Carl-Thiem-Klinikum Cottbus since 2015 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology since 2017 .

Research focuses on cancer development, tumor spread ( metastasis ) and prediction of the response to tumor therapy (response). This resulted in a new cancer hypothesis including molecular biological signaling pathways and an anti-cancer strategy. The scientific justification in genomics , microRNA , epigenetics and proteomics , as well as criticism of the somatic mutation theory followed. Brücher proposed a paradigm shift here.

According to Google Scholar , Brücher has published over 100 publications (as of 2018), his h-index is 36.
