Dominik Duscher (born February 21, 1987) is an Austrian plastic surgeon. Her is Program Director for Applied Regenerative Medicine at the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen and the BG Klinik Tübingen.[1] He works, teaches and researches at the Kepler University Hospital in Linz[2] and works in private practice in Munich.[3] His research focus is the optimization of cell function in old age and in diabetes. He holds several patents,[4] published more than 120 scientific papers advancing the fields of plastic surgery, aesthetic surgery, oncology, trauma surgery, hand surgery, stem cell biology, applied and molecular regenerative medicine as well as gerontology[5] and has authored several scientific and popular science books.[6] His research on skin regeneration and the HIF pathway led to the foundation of the biotech company Tomorrowlabs GmbH, in which he is a managing partner and chief scientific officer.[7]
Biography[edit]
From 2006 to 2012 Dominik Duscher studied medicine at the Medical University of Vienna, the University College London, UK and at Harvard Medical School, where he was trained by Bo Pomahac at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. [8] He then began practical specialist training for plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery in Vienna.
From 2013 to 2015 he completed his postdoctoral training in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine at Stanford University with Geoffrey Gurtner and Michael Longaker.[9][10] In addition to his doctorate in general medicine, Duscher holds a scientific doctorate with a focus on stem cell biology.[11]
After his return to Austria he continued to train as a plastic surgeon and from April 2015 he headed plastic surgery research at the Kepler University Hospital in Linz with Georg Huemer.[12] During his residency, Duscher became director of the department for experimental plastic surgery at the Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich in March 2017.[13] There he completed his habilitation in June 2020.[14] Subsequently, he joined the department of plastic surgery at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen and the BG Klinik Tübingen.[1] In September 2020 he opened a private practice in Munich with a focus on minimally invasive aesthetic and regenerative medicine.[8]
Duscher is Research Coordinator of the Microsurgical Education and Training Center (MAZ) in Linz[15] and the young forum of the Austrian Society for Hand Surgery.[16] He has also been Secretary General of the European Plastic Surgery Research Council (EPSRC)[17] since 2014 and, as its chairman, was responsible for the annual EPSRC congress in 2019 held at the TranslaTUM of the Technical University of Munich.[18]
Books[edit]
Dominik Duscher wrote several scientific and popular science books.[6] Together with the journalist Nina Ruge, he published a book on aging research in June 2020.[19] The latest findings from cell research are presented in "Altern wird heilbar: Jung bleiben mit der Kraft der drei Zellkompetenzen" (tentative title of the upcoming Englisch version: "Curing aging: Stay young with the power of the 3 cell skills). The authors outline the processes of aging and show how it will become curable in the future. The focus is on the 3 elementary abilities of the cells: natural cell renewal, detoxification at the cell level and the stabilization of energy production. Immediately after its publication, the book became a German bestseller[20] A continuation in the form of a more practical book is announced for summer 2021.
Entrepreneurship[edit]
His research on skin regeneration and the HIF pathway led to the foundation of the biotech company Tomorrowlabs GmbH, together with the pharmacologist Dominik Thor.[7] The company is based on the patent-pending HSF ("HIF strengthening factor") active ingredient that is hoped will promote skin and hair regeneration
