Biographical note

About our authors

Elaine Marieb received her Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of nursing practice.

To that end, while continuing to teach full-time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her publications are known.

Dr. Marieb passed away in 2018 after a lifetime of supporting numerous institutions and programs and providing local philanthropic support to the Florida Gulf Coast University as a long-term investment in education, research, and training.

Dr. Katja Hoehn is a professor in the Department of Biology at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. She received her M.D. (with Distinction) from the University of Saskatchewan, and her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Dalhousie University.

During her Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies, she also pursued her passion for teaching by presenting guest lectures to first- and second-year medical students at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.

Dr. Hoehn has been a contributor to several books, written numerous research papers in Neuroscience and Pharmacology, and has co-authored the last four editions of this textbook. For many years, she has also reviewed and authored electronic media that accompanies Pearson's anatomy and physiology books.
