PostDoc/Fellow in Comparative Pathology, Inst. of Pathology, Technical University of Munich
by Bruce Williams Feb. 1, 2022

Feb. 1, 2022

PostDoc/Fellow in Comparative Pathology The Comparative Experimental Pathology (CEP, head: PD Dr. Katja Steiger) in the Institute of Pathology of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is Germany’s largest comparative pathology unit with 2 veterinary pathologists, 2-3 residents (german board certification, “Fachtierarzt”) and 9 technicians working under one roof with 15 surgical (human) pathologists. Our integrated setup allows the evaluation of animal models of human diseases comparatively to human pathology. Our interdisciplinary team of pathologists discusses interesting findings on a daily basis internally and with our project partners in biomedical research. We are a fully integrated part of the biomedical community in Munich and dedicated to collaborative research. We offer a unique comparative pathology setup with a fully equipped laboratory (including several IHC machines) focussed on tissue-based research requests. The unit also benefits from a research interface to the Molecular Pathology Unit of the Institute of Pathology of the TUM, allowing additional research on comparative molecular pathology in spontaneous diseases of domestic animals. Our equipment includes several slide scanners for digitalization enabling also to perform histopathological analysis in a home-office setting one to two days per week. We recently acquired a CODEX (co-detection by indexing) platform, allowing us to perform high-dimensional multiple IF. We are part of several collaborative research centers, thus the successful applicant will also have the opportunity to take part in third party funding application processes. Writing own applications for external funding is strongly encouraged. We process around 600 projects per year with our in-house developed project-management structure for tissue-based research. Thus, the successful candidate will also have the opportunity to gain project management skills including business insights. The TUM, the medical faculty of TUM and our collaborative research structures provide an international environment with cutting-edge technologies and continuing education courses aiming at the individual development. Requirements We are looking for an enthusiastic pathologist (min. 3 years pathology training) to join our team in a PostDoc/Fellowship position. The responsibilities of the successful applicant will primarily include interpretation of animal models and comparative human pathology, as well as communication and documentation of results in a project-driven setup. Team-oriented communication with the laboratory staff and the ability to independently establish IHCmarkers and in situ-hybridization applications are a matter of course. Teaching responsibilities include comprehensive training of comparative pathology residents, as well as PhD students in biomedical research in sampling, processing and tissue-based evaluation. A doctoral degree/PhD as well as a board exam (ECVP/ACVP or German Fachtierarzt) would be beneficial but not essential, and candidates with project management experience will be preferred. An opportunity to enrol in a PhD/Dr. rer. nat. or habilitation programme can be discussed. The position will be limited to two years. Payment will be based on the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service of the Länder (TV-L). Your application: We look forward to receiving your application for this full-time position with the usual documents until February 28th, 2022 via e-mail at katja.steiger(a)tum.de.

In Memoriam: Dr. Gordon Charles Hard (1931-2021)
by Bruce Williams Dec. 7, 2021

Dec. 7, 2021

In Memoriam: Dr. Gordon Charles Hard (1931-2021) Dr. Gordon Hard, of Tairua, New Zealand, a preeminent international toxicology thought leader and international consultant in toxicologic pathology of the kidney, passed on November 22, 2021. He was a key player in shaping and developing the global field of toxicologic pathology and the role of toxicologic pathology in risk assessment of environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Gordon was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1931. Dr. Hard received a BSc from the University of Auckland in 1955 and a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 1959 from the University of Sydney (Australia). He then practiced veterinary medicine as Chief Veterinarian in the rural districts of Taihape and Raetihi in New Zealand. A moment of epiphany occurred when, after working all day and night, he crashed his car on a mountainous road and, in recovery, decided to go into pathology. After receiving his PhD from The University of Sydney in 1968 and later a DSc from the University of Melbourne (Australia) in 1978, Dr. Hard worked with Professor Peter Magee in renal cancer research at the Fels Institute of Research at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia where he was appointed as Professor. Thus began his specialization in renal carcinogenesis and chemical injury, beginning with several seminal papers about the nitroso compounds. He then became Head of Carcinogenesis Research at the University of New South Wales (Australia) and later Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the British Industrial Biological Research Association (BIBRA), Carshalton, Surrey, UK. Subsequently he served as Director of the American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York, USA. He continued his research in renal toxicologic pathology, including consulting, while in those administrative roles. After stepping down from research leadership roles, which some would call retirement, he became a widely sought after renal pathology consultant to the pharmaceutical, chemical, consumer product and government organizations in North America, Europe and Japan. He published hundreds of scientific articles and many chapters, and also presented at a wide variety of meetings and venues, including teaching kidney pathology to future generations of toxicologic pathologists. Numerous awards attest to Dr. Hard’s valuable scientific contributions, including an Honorary Membership in the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in 2005 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Toxicologic Pathology in 2017. He served as Editor-in-Chief of Toxicologic Pathology, Founding Editor in Chief for Toxicology in Vitro, and Editor in Chief for Food & Chemical Toxicology. He was also a Fellow of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences and the Royal College of Pathologists (London), and was awarded the DVSc from the University of Sydney for his research contributions. Dr. Hard was multitalented, in his early years playing college soccer (University of Sydney) and semiprofessional soccer (Melbourne InterVarsity Football) in Australia. He had a love of music throughout his career, playing the keyboard for house guests. He snow skied every year well into his seventh decade. In a multifamily ski outing in Nevada, Gordon had everyone listen to his favorite “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba, his favorite song. He was a student of nature with the ability to identify myriad plant and animal species. He particularly liked hosting visitors to his home in Tairua, with its spectacular views of the ocean, beaches, and mountains. He and his wife, Ruth, served as guides for many to the north island of New Zealand, educating the visitors about the history, nature, and beauty of his homeland for which he had great pride and many stories. Dr. Hard is survived by his wife Ruth, daughter Cassandra Hard (Wentworth Falls, Australia) and sons Dr. James (Jake) J. Hard (Caerphilly, Wales), Nicolas (Nic) J.C. Hard (Benidoleig, Spain), 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. He had dual citizenship in Australia/New Zealand, with resident status in the United States. We have lost a pillar of the renal toxicology/pathology community and a gentleman and scholar in society. Samuel M. Cohen, Wanda M. Haschek-Hock and Carl Alden -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org
