About

Bio

Martin S. Fischer is Chair and Director of the Institute of Zoology and Evolutionary Biology at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. His commitment to the investigation of the workings of motion has led to the development of fluoroscopy. In turn, this research generated a vast collection of X-ray movies of animals in motion at the Institute. His findings on the locomotion of animals, especially that of dogs, have had considerable influence on the way it is viewed in veterinary medicine.
