Eberhard F. Mammen

Eberhard F. Mammen (born July 13, 1930 in Carolinensiel ; † July 1, 2008 ) was a German doctor and university professor .

Live and act

Eberhard F. Mammen was born the son of a doctor and studied medicine in Munich. In 1956 he received his doctorate under the gynecologist Fritz K. Beller at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen . He wrote his dissertation on the [...] formation of plasma thrombokinase in infants and mothers. As early as 1988 he published his first article on the investigation of a third plasma factor for thromboplastin formation.

He completed his assistantship with Professor Hans Erhard Bock . Because after this time there were no vacancies as an assistant doctor, he went to Vienna to see the internist and hemostaseologist Erwin Deutsch for six months . Deutsch placed him at Wayne State University in Detroit for two years . There he was employed as a Fulbright post doctoral fellow at the Physiological Institute, which was headed by Walter H. Seegers . There the scientists carried out biochemical research. A number of Germans were among the researchers. The researchers also published numerous results, including thirteen articles in the journal Thrombosis and Haemostasis . His description of the fibrinogen Detroit , a rare form of a genetic dysfunction of fibrinogen, attracted attention .

In 1960 he returned to Germany and completed his assistantship there. In 1962 he returned to Wayne State University and became an assistant professor of physiology and pharmacology . He quickly became a “normal” professor in both disciplines. This was followed by professorships for pathology and gynecology and obstetrics .

In 1971 he published the textbook Thrombosis and bleeding disorders: theory and methods , which takes up much of his research results obtained at the Seeders Institute. The topics covered range from individual coagulation factors to routine diagnostic aspects before isolation .

In 1974 he founded the journal Seminars in Thrombosis and Haemostasis . In this journal he published articles by renowned researchers and enabled 65 German scientists from the Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis Research to publish their publications in the United States .

Until the end of the 1980s he himself published in German-language magazines and gave lectures on hemostaseology in order to present this new field to a larger group of people.

Eberhard F. Mammen was voted the best teacher of the year five times by the students of Wayne State University and was admission dean at the university. Between 1984 and 1990 anyway from 1999 from 2001 he held the post of Dean for Pharmacy and Health Sciences .

In 2009 the Eberhard F. Mammen Award was donated.

Research priorities

Eberhard F. Mammen examined hemostaseology mainly from the medical-clinical point of view. Among other things, he looked at the basics in the biochemical area. Although he examined all medical specialties, his main focus was on gynecology and surgery . He also dealt with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). He also researched therapy options against peripheral arterial occlusive disease . His therapeutic research was based in part on the protein streptokinase . He also investigated disorders of the extracorporeal circulation and platelet defects .

Private

Mammen was married with four children and seven grandchildren.
