Senescence Back and Forth

Urs Nydeggr M. D.: Born in 1941 in Bern, Switzerland. For the Study of Medicine, he attended the University of Bern. In 2022, the author concludes a 12-year part-time engagement as a medical consultant for the Medical Laboratories Dr. Risch, a Liechtenstein-based enterprise dedicated to excellence in clinical laboratory testing. Nydegger helped to establish neglected reference intervals of lab tests for the elderly. Alumnus and Professor of the University of Bern, where he was Head of the Blood Bank (1985 - 2001) and Medical Research in the Cardiovascular Department (up to 2006). Clinical education: University Hospitals of Bern and Geneva; Boards of Internal Medicine FMH and Haematology FMH. An alumnus of Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA, at the Robert B. Brigham Hospital (1976 - 1978). U. Nydeggers's scientific contributions peak with a Citation Classic on the detection of circulating immune complexes and with ABO-histo-blood type incompatible transplantation; the most frequently cited studies pertain to the biocompatibility of artificial organs.

Thomas Lung Dr. rer. nat.: Born in 1966 in Bregenz, Austria. Lung became interested in the study of senescence while at the University of Innsbruck, the Institute for Biomedical Aging Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences. Since then, he has worked in Switzerland as a Laboratory Manager for Clinical Immunology, FAMH, in two private med lab service institutions. He remained interested in reference intervals of med lab tests differing according to patients' age. The SENIORLABOR study brought his interest to projects sponsored by Dr. Risch Laboratories and attended, among others, by Nydegger. The results include several peer-reviewed original scientific reports with Lung as the first author. A large part of these papers, not always referenced in our book, take part as a basis for the relevance of senescence research in the booming field of laboratory medicine. When time permitsin his routine laboratory work, Lung has extensive engagement as a speaker in postgraduate teaching.

Urs Nydegger M. D.: 1941年出生於瑞士伯恩。為了學習醫學，他就讀於伯恩大學。2022年，作者結束了在醫學實驗室Dr. Risch的12年兼職醫學顧問工作，該公司位於列支敦士登，專注於臨床實驗室檢測的卓越表現。Nydegger協助建立了針對老年人的實驗室檢測參考範圍。作為伯恩大學的校友和教授，他曾擔任血庫主任（1985 - 2001）及心血管科醫學研究負責人（至2006年）。臨床教育背景包括伯恩和日內瓦的醫學中心；內科FMH和血液學FMH的專業委員會。曾在美國麻省波士頓的哈佛醫學院及Robert B. Brigham醫院（1976 - 1978）就讀。U. Nydegger的科學貢獻以關於循環免疫複合物檢測的Citation Classic和ABO組織血型不相容移植的研究達到巔峰；最常被引用的研究涉及人工器官的生物相容性。

Thomas Lung Dr. rer. nat.: 1966年出生於奧地利布雷根茨。Lung在因斯布魯克大學的奧地利科學院生物醫學老化研究所學習期間對老化研究產生了興趣。此後，他在瑞士的兩家私人醫學實驗室擔任臨床免疫學實驗室經理。Lung持續關注根據患者年齡不同的醫學實驗室檢測參考範圍。SENIORLABOR研究使他對Dr. Risch實驗室贊助的項目產生了興趣，該項目還有Nydegger等人參與。研究結果包括幾篇以Lung為第一作者的同行評審原創科學報告。這些論文中的大部分，並不總是在我們的書中引用，作為老化研究在蓬勃發展的實驗室醫學領域中的相關性基礎。當時間允許時，Lung在日常實驗室工作中積極參與研究生教學的演講。
