He then became honorary Senior Scientific Consultant for Oroboros Instruments (Innsbruck, Austria), finally retiring in 2016. He is author or co-author of over 130 publications, mainly in the field of blood flow and oxygen transport to tissue. He has been a member of ISOTT for over 35 years including President in 1996. Since 2004 he has been Scientific Editor of all of the “Oxygen Transport to Tissue” volumes.Joseph C. LaManna, PhD is The Jeannette M. and Joseph S. Silber Professor for the Study of Brain Sciences in the Department of Physiology & Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University. He has been a member of ISOTT since 1974 and served as Past President of the Society (2009).  He is the Series Editor of the ISOTT Proceedings. He has been involved in cerebrovascular research for 40 years.  His research is concerned with brain metabolism, energy and cerebral blood flow, angiogenesis and neurodegeneration. The role of these mechanisms in tissue response to pathological insults (stroke, cardiac arrest and resuscitation, hypoxia) is being actively investigated.  His recent research has centered on ketones, cerebral angiogenesis and the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in physiological adaptation to hypoxia, neuroprotection and ischemic preconditioning.  He has authored or co-authored over 200 research papers and review chapters.
