Boris Kablar is a tenured (2005) full professor (since 2012) in the Departments of Medical Neuroscience, Anatomy and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada, with an expertise in Human Histology, Embryology, Developmental Biology and Mouse Pathology and Phenogenomics. He has an MD (1987, Zagreb; 1995, Trieste) and a PhD (1998, Zagreb and Pisa) from Universities of Zagreb (Croatia), Trieste and Pisa (Italy). He was a postdoctoral fellow and a research associate (1995-2000; McMaster University, Canada) in the laboratory of Michael A. Rudnicki, working on skeletal muscle development. Since 2000, he has been a principal investigator working on the role of skeletal muscle in the development of many cells, tissues and organs, such as motor neurons, lungs, skeleton and special senses. This book, Roles of Skeletal Muscle in Organ Development - Prenatal Interdependence among Cells, Tissues, and Organs, is a result of 25 years of his research. He has produced more than 60 publications and his work has been cited more than 4000 times.
