  • Anthony Herrel
    The evolution of the jaw system in canids: jaw muscle architecture and bite force

    Anthony Herrel is a permanent researcher of the CNRS, France working at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle where he heads the Function and Evolution team. He received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Antwerp in Belgium and did postdoctoral fellowships in Belgium as well in the USA. He spent one year each at Northern Arizona University, Tulane University, and Harvard University where he investigated the evolution of complex, integrated musculo-skeletal systems. He is also a part-time professor at Ghent University and the University of Antwerp in Belgium and a research associate of the Naturhistorisches museum Bern in Switzerland. His research interests broadly encompass the evolution of form and function, mostly using vertebrates as a model system. He developed methods for measuring bite forces in vivo and combines approaches from a wide array of disciplines in biology ranging from biomechanical modeling and functional morphology, to ecological and behavioral studies. An important part of his research is devoted to field studies of different organisms and he collaborates widely with researchers around the world. He has over 500 publications and has supervised many master students, PhD students, and post-doctoral researchers. He is currently the vice president of the International Society for Vertebrate Morphology.

    Vicente Aige Gil
    Neuro-ophthalmological anatomy

    Graduated in Veterinary Medicine (1985), he was appointed a tenure-track position teaching anatomy at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) and obtained his PhD (1988), with cum laude, with a thesis on the pineal gland of the chick embryo. After a post-doc research at the Universities of Reading (UK) and Guelph (Canada), and being a visiting professor at the Veterinary School of Glasgow (Scotland), he was appointed as professor titular / senior lecturer / associate professor of veterinary anatomy (1992) at the Veterinary Faculty of the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB). He is a member of the American Association of Veterinary Anatomists (AAVA) and an invited neuroanatomy lecturer in courses and seminars national and international.

    He has published several articles and books, being the latest “Neuronatomy of the dog” 2nd edition by Linus Learning, NY (2024), and a website that he keeps constantly updated: www.neuroanatomyofthedog.com

    Jesus Ruberte
    Bridging mouse and human anatomies; a knowledge and terminology-based approach for disease model phenotyping
    Full Professor at the Veterinary School in Barcelona, where he has worked since 1982. He is also head of the Mouse Imaging Platform and the Morphological Analysis Unit at the Center for Biotechnology and Gene Therapy (UAB). Moreover, he has made research and training stays at several international institutions including Département d'Anatomie, École Vétérinaire de Toulouse (France), Institut für Anatomie, Veterinär-medizinische Universität, Wien (Austria); Department of Veterinary Anatomy at Cornell University (USA); and Lion’s Eye Institue at University of Western Australia. Recently, May-August 2024 he has been appointed as Visiting Professor by the Seoul National University.

    Currently, his research focuses on the understanding of disease mechanisms of diabetic retinopathy, especially those related with the alteration of microvasculature. Furthermore, during the last fourteen years, he has worked intensively in mouse morphological phenotyping, developing a new concept for Mouse Pathobiology that integrates anatomy, histology, imaging, and pathology.

    He is author of 114 articles, 21 book chapters and 7 books: notably the “Morphological Mouse Phenotyping: Anatomy, Histology and Imaging” published by Academic Press in 2017. He has a total of 5,225 citations and his h-index is 37. He is also PI of over 16 competitive research grants and coordinator of PATHBIO (Precision Pathobiology for Disease Models) and MorphoPHEN (Human Diseases Models Morphological Phenotyping), two European training projects.

    Further recognition for the quality of his work are the awards “Clément Bressou assortie du titre de lauréat” awarded by French Veterinary Academy; “Premio de Investigación 2004-2005” awarded by the Fundación Dr. Esteve, and “Premio de la Fundación Dr. Esteve para el Tratamiento de Enfermedades Raras”.
