Editor-in-Chief
Ass. Prof. Dr. rer. nat./ med. habil. / h.c. (YSU) Thomas Liehr is working in cytogenetics since 1991. He is head of the molecular cytogenetic group at the Institute of Human Genetics, Jena, Germany since 1998. Before he was coworker and PhD-fellow of the Herbert Quandt Stiftung der VARTA-AG at the Institute of Human Genetics, Erlangen, Germany. Concerning diagnostics, he signs out personally hundreds of (molecular) cytogenetic reports per year. Since 2002, he is clinical laboratory geneticist (Germany), and since 2015, ErCLG (European registered clinical laboratory geneticist. The results of his research are published in >15 books, >100 book chapter, >850 referred papers, and ~1000 abstracts. His particular expertise is development and application of multicolor-FISH probe sets for the characterization of marker chromosomes. He is specialist for the characterization of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) and he collected all available literature on this special field on the freely available sSMC homepage. Also he received multiple prices, two invited professorships (see also http://cs-tl.de/).Associate professor, Institute of Human Genetics, University Clinic Jena, Am Klinikum 1, 07747 Jena, Germany
